Are there any photos of the new relay lens for the Ultimate which docks to the EX3 or 2/3" B4 cameras? I'm looking at buying but am a little anxious about the long rocket launcher profile of a 35mm adapter system. I know it gives great results, but is it workable on a daily basis....
 
Yes, here's a picture from the Zacuto booth that Philip Bloom shot. The B4 Relay is
very short, so an Ultimate or Extreme with the B4 Relay is no longer than a typical
HD ENG zoom lens with 2X extender.

Letus is going to be releasing four Relay Lenses, first the B4 2/3", then XDCAM 1/2" and Canon and JVC 1/3" versions. I'm assuming they will all be the same or similar sizes.

When comparing the Ultimate or Extreme with B4 Relay size to my Fujinon HA18X7.6BERM HD ENG zoom, it looks like the adapter, relay and an SLR prime would not be any longer physically. A wide angle HD ENG zoom with extender would be longer.

I can hardly wait to mount this setup on my HDX900! Of course, an HPX3000 would be even sweeter.

Thanks for the pic Jeff. Looks quite workable as a handheld system. Letus says the relay is out "very soon". Wish I knew exactly what that meant.

That looks very promising!

One question which's to early to answer; is it posible that the Letus relay would work on other adapters?
 
Can you use the 2/3" B4 relay with a B4>1/2" adapter for the EX-3?

Will the relay only give you Academy FOV or also SLR.
I seem to remember only Academy

Academy only FOV. Very solid build. Got to test it out at Cinegear and with an HPX500 out on the beach. Love the implementation of iris control. And, naturally, a perfect fit with the Letus Rails and Ultimate.
