I am very interested in the results and your review of this adapter:costumed-smiley-047

In other words ... don't make me wait dammit :dankk2:
 
Shane,
mine arrived today too
http://www.bentonjohn.com/Letus35XL-H1/


there are some issues with my beta unit. But Quyen has been great about addressing these! It is at the beginning of it's very first production cycle and I am confident that he is trying to build the best and most affordable product he can and will only keep making this better!
These are 1080 60i that I deinteraced and that's all.
They were shot with a Nikkor 50mm lens

Shane - what kind of Rod system is that?
thanks,

~John

Hi Brian,

:dankk2: for your answer.

Are you from this 35mm adapter project or related to?

EDIT -- I'm looking for the best 35mm adapter solution as relay lens if possible and it seems a good option. The New Yorker John Benton is there too, so I've trust & hope that we'll be noticed by his expert interest regarding these health competition: G35, Brevis35 & Letus35 (with some good points to this last one: lossless relay lens & image flip built in -- it's a must!)

What do you think?

BTW, John (how are you?) have you any news from the Winston Vargas' 70mm adapter? And first of all, tell us more about your feed-back and your expectations vs. the other brothers (G35 & Brevis35)...

Take care,
Emanuel

I just saw a clip from John Benton and it showed A LOT of promise. It looked like he had a little trouble pulling focus with the 50mm lens, but the footage had an interesting quality to it, and even though it looked a little washed out and foggy, some adjustments to contrast and color in QT player made the image really POP a lot more and look pretty filmic...despite being a 1080i clip!

I am very intrigued by this adapter so far.

Wow, a deleted scene from Private Ryan? Heh, that was interesting to see the ridiculously shallow DOF with your army guys shot.

I do hope you can post some HD footage, and please make it 24F material.

Thanks so much for contributing!
 
Very nice.
yeah I think that a lot of the focus problems I was having were due to trying to focus in the viewfinder of tha canon.
I am thinking of a follow focus like Shane's, but also thinking of an on Cam monitor - purely for the focussing nuances.

Hello Emanuel,

No, I'm not affiliated with the Letus35XL. I have been reading about its development for a few months. I am interested in it because of its form factor--not having to use the stock XL lens will help shorten the camera set-up.

I am very appreciative of these beta testers' efforts.
 
Hey John,

Thanks for the test results. I noticed you're in NYC ...

Interested in meeting up? I'd like to see this adapter in action in person ...

I can bring my XL-H1 too and it'll be a party!!!

I'll be shooting a short in the upcoming week ... maybe we can test it out then :)
 
I will once he gets his daily bandwidth allotment returned. Can't download because y'all beat me to it!
