Well today was my first test with it since i got it earlier this week. Only thing i noticed is that I wasnt' zoomed in enough on teh focus screen. So you can see a little vignetting and some grain yet. That will be addressed in the next test.

So far the letus35 is fairly lightweight and gets the job done on a budget. Right up my alley.

Here are some grabs.

Camera is a Sony VX2100 ---> Letus35 ---> Nikon FE 50mm SLR lens

Thanks. I think most of the grain thats in the shots ( grabs and video clip ) was from there not being enough light... ( was even getting dark outside. ) so the camera was boosting the gain. Most of the time it was at +3dB and sometimes over +12dB
 
the letus seems to be a good buy. Your footage looks better than the screen caps-
overall I think the letus is a solid product. Reflex, any way you can post a photo of what the letus looks like on your camera?

thanks-

Hmm...I liked some of it, for some reason I'm not too impressed by it. Maybe if you had the chance to really get out and do some shooting as this is obviously just around the house and stuff. Keep us posted. Tim.
 
Well, I like the adapter.

Hey, reflex, turn your automatic gain limit down to 6DB.

That way, it can't screw up your picture too badly.

:-)

I built my own adapter, but I must say, the letus looks tempting. I have a VX2000, and with my own adapter, I must say, I LOVE the 60i with 35mm look.

It's gorgeous.

Would it work to step up a tiny 37mm camera to this thing, or would that just be a complete waste of time and money? Could the result turn out good? Could I trust these letus guys?
 
How much noise does it make?

None. it's totally silent.

yeah i'm sure it would make a difference. You'd have to check with Quyen though. Yeah he's a totally cool guy and he got back to me with every question right away and shipping from CA to me ( WI ) was really fast - like about 2- 3 days after he had the unit put together.

I just went out and did another vid - if you give me a few i can upload it and then give everyone a link... it's a little better video than what i posted before.

I bought one for my panny GS150. I'm very pleased with the results so far. I do have to throw a lot of light on things because of the poor low-light performance of the 150, but once I have things lit correctly, the image is great.
