Well as soon as BH comes back online to order I'm placing my order for Letus35 Extreme, I really didn't do my research I'm just going out on the fly and doing this. Can anyone tell me if this is the cheapest rout to hook the lenses up to my XL2 or are their other ways that I'm unaware of.
With that being said!
What Canon lenses currently for sale on the web is the best for DOF, I'm not looking to break the bank either. Keep it with in reason, show me something that I should buy thats also pocket friendly. :dankk2:
Thank you in advance!

www.keh.com (http://www.keh.com) they have great deals on lenses. just stay away from the UG category. When you go there you'll see what I mean. Anything above that are almost always good. Great customer service as well.
As far as lenses I say grab the fastest 50mm and 28mm you can find for the best price. having those are two lenses that are a good starting point and build from there.
You can order the Extreme from Zacuto.com Like I did. It was the same price and shipping was just as quick. Zero wait time.

Zacuto.com - it says its 1,799.99 as BH is 1,200 but I think Zacuto.com is elite. What's the difference do I need the elite to run it on the XL1 / XL2

The elite allows you to control back focus. You should really do some research and not just jump into buying an adapter

Heh, sorry if I sound a bit jaded, but a day of research is laughable compared to what would be recommended when purchasing this type of product. Simply telling people that you have done enough research rather than actually doing thorough searches in the forums is a sure fire way to not get your questions answered.
All of your questions have been answered dozens of times in this forum. Just look around for a while (maybe 2 days?). If you don't like waiting for the 60 second search on the site, you can go to google and type in "site:Dvxuser.com" followed by what you are searching for (ie. site:dvxuser.com letus elite).
Good luck searching. It may take a bit, but you will find more than you need if you keep your nose to the grind stone.
Cheers,
Ryan
