DVX + Letus35FE

[Steve M.]

Hi there,

I have a quick question. I'm considering buying a Letus35FE for my DVX100b and I was reading various threads. One thing I've noticed is that you have to zoom up during the setup to the max. zoom.

If I've read correctly and this is true, will the camera have to be much further away from the subjects in order to get shots you'd normally want? ie headshots during conversations.

thanks alot,
Steve

I think it just depends on your still lens. You need to zoom in to have no vignetting.

You zoom in on the ground glass (gg) until you fill the frame. Once it's focused on the gg you leave it alone and rely completely on the the lens you have on the adapter. So distance from the camera will depend on the lens you use. The only reason you'd have to move further back to get a standard head shot is if you chose to use a telephoto lens.
