PRESS RELEASE: Loreo clarifies Lens in a Cap compatibility
Loreo (Asia) Ltd. clarifies a previous statement made regarding compatibility of the LOREO Lens in a Cap product line. This covers the Lens in a Cap, the PC Lens in a Cap and the 3D Lens in a Cap.
Chief Engineer Tony Lo explained to the media that "The products in the Lens in a Cap line were developed with a modular mount system, and are shipped to demand in 5 major mount types - Canon EOS, M42, Nikon, Olympus and Pentax K. These mounts fit most but not all SLR cameras. The Canon FD is not currently supported, but we are considering making a Minolta mount. The LOREO 3D Lens in a Cap does not have an M42 mount because we have no way of aligning stereo images on a screw mount. We also need to let users know that on some cameras the camera body must be set to manual focusing and sometimes manual exposure. A list of these cameras will be published on the www.loreo.com website."
"Loreo is grateful to internet portal Imaging Resource (www.imaging-resource.com) and other online viewers for pointing out the issues with lens-mounts and electronic communication. We will continue to improve our modular mount system to make our Lens in a Cap products compatible with as many mounts as possible."
Previously issued press statements should be used with the above clarification in mind. Updated versions of Loreo's Photokina press materials can be found at the www.loreo.com website.
