•• Letus35HD100 Extreme...that's right...I did it! ••

[Coco Bermudez]

Finally...after so many months of testing...I got my own Letus35HD100 Extreme! No need to mount the adapter to the end of the Fujinon...just directly to camera.

Why? Well I surely do not want to purchse two adapters...so now I am able to comfortably interchange from my Panasonic DVX100A to my JVC GY-HD100A with no problems. The picture looks real good...Christmas in March! Yipeee!

More to come...but for now...how about a little teaser?

 

[Hunter Hampton]

Thats really cool. Do you have any grabs from footage?

 

[ecking]

Man tell us how! I got a friend that would be all over that.

 

[Hunter Hampton]

Just a guess:

JVC camera body-> nikon mount adapter-> short extention tube-> 50mm lens-> letus?

 

[Look 1st]

Just a guess:

JVC camera body-> nikon mount adapter-> short extention tube-> 50mm lens-> letus?

you forgot the 4' rods :shocked:

 

[Hunter Hampton]

Oh yeah and the 4 foot rods.

 

[cinematical]

Haha, I like the dramatic flare.

But seriously, how?

 

[Erik Olson]

You need the additional rear riser for that Cavision set-up... sooner than later!

Eeek, the way the camera is supported on that single aluminium thing looks pretty dodgy... Get a Zriser, they are really sturdy

 

[PaPa]

i miss my letus already!

 

[cinebuddy]

i miss my letus already!

Where is your Letus Papa?

 

[PaPa]

sent it back to the LE brothers, dust on the inside of hte condensor.. blast!

 

[Hunter Hampton]

lets see some grabs!

 

[Coco Bermudez]

Just a guess:

JVC camera body-> nikon mount adapter-> short extention tube-> 50mm lens-> letus?

very close indeed...only thing that is wrong is the extension tube....I am using a little lens in there.......

here is another picture.

By the way...for of all you concerned about the weight distribution...it is perfectly fine and solid as a rock...but just in case I just ordered the:

CAVISION
ADDITIONAL RISER SET
FOR LETUS35 EXTREME
DOF ADAPTER from Overland Films for $100. It should make it sturdier.

Next on the plate...video stills....

.............it looks like the ultimate DIY adaptor

.............it looks like the ultimate DIY adaptor

it is my friend...it truly is... I just need to raise the cam a bit and I am golden. I am using a medium format lens...LOVE it......

the only thing that bothers me is that straight from Letus, the screen seems to have a itsy bitsy blemish...but I will have to take a closer look using a monitor to see if it truly is noticeable.....

 

[Hunter Hampton]

What lens is that in the back? An old nikon 28 f2.8? and is that the MTF nikon adapter?

you are correct sir....easy as that....

 

[Hunter Hampton]

Are you getting a 1:1 ratio with that focal length relay? Or do you think its cropping the projected frame quite a bit?

 

[tommetass]

why and what are 2 lenses any good for?

(that's not rhetorical)



Please gief grabs!
