whats this lense for?

 

[naughtygeorge]

where am I going to find $700? anyone have a used letus for sale!

 

[iglun]

but seriously, what is the significance of getting this out of production lens used? why not the current canon EF or something from the nikon line? feels like i'm missing some important point here...

 

[Ramon Boutviseth]

the adapter uses old canon and nikon lenses to achieve the look of DOF, the swapable mounts on the letus are made for only canon FD manual lenses And nikon manual AI lenses.

 

[iglun]

got you, hiro. thanks.

So how did the Letus fair for the music video shoot, Ramon?

We have 3 dvx's, one on crane, me on handheld, and letus on sticks. Letus35 didn't slow us down one bit.. mainly because we had it set up and whenever we needed to use it ... it was there. We didnt use it for any bands shots.. only for the narrative part. here are a few shots.. shh! I forgot to set my detail settings to +7, but its still pretty soft.

there is an annoying dot at the bottom... its from my canon lens

letus35 is great for the money, but i would like to see quyen improve on this adapter.

Hiro let me borrow his new Letus for my music video, so I thought it was appropriate to post some stills from the letus.

I was skeptical about these in the past, but once I used it I fell in love with the images it can produce.

 

[EJ Pennypacker]

Hey Kevin,

Nice grabs. When do we get to see the finished article?

EJ

 

[KevinPeeples]

Thanks, Im hoping to get it finished by the end of the week. About 25% done at the moment.

themankilled trailer looked cool, what lens did u used?

 

[wmiller@csulb.edu]

i used a combo of 70-200mm, 300mm Prime, 28-90mm and a 50mm. Having a bag full of lenses definately makes the letus that much more powerful.

 

[iglun]

need help!

just got the letus flip and am a little lost. when you twist it onto the camera, how do you know when its alined? also, part of the adapter is not atached to anything and is constantly falling, and the other part is stuck to the camera and is not coming off. did you guys have similar problems? not even talking about the picture right now. it is really dark and colorless...

Here's some letus35aflip footage for ya

the battery compartment will be parallel with the ground on the side opposite the LCD screen.... Look at the webside and how the adapters look on those cameras. The GG on the inside is lined up the same on all the models i am pretty sure.
