I've now spent weeks using the HMC150 with the Letus Ultimate and I can report a positive experience.
There were a few technical glitches -- and I must say that Letus was entirely responsive. I'm among the most irrelevant and insignificant television producers in America -- and I can say without qualification that Hien (inventor/President) of the Letus Corporation responded to my problems as if I was the head of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios. In a sentence -- it was customer service the way it should be -- in an ideal world.
In terms of using the Ultimate with the HMC150 -- in everything from talking heads to landscapes to creative elements -- the combo has worked flawlessly. Indeed, you really can stop your lens all the way down -- and I've used shutter speeds as high as 1/1000.
And, although I hate like hell to say anything good about the HMC150's awful terrible horrible LCD display -- I can report that with that magnified view focus assist essentially all of the footage I've captured in the field turned out to be razor sharp when I got back to the studio.
The footage below is a few clips from this past Sunday. It's just a collection of sample clips.
