[Emanuel]

John used the Letus35 adapter plus his XL-H1 and three Nikkor 85mm 1.4/ 50mm 1.4/ 16mm 2.8:

Beyond the rough cut, the shots are beautiful. You're an artist...man when have we the short?

Seems like someone had a bit too much fun with the 35mm adapter. A lot of shots never seem to be in focus or only are for a split second. Seems like it's a new toy rather than a tool and really draws attention to itself.

"À propos de DOF, it reminds me the last scene of "Happy Endings" when the character comes into focus and from there (to its reverse borderline). It's not strictly a question of shallow depth of field. It's like Lars von Trier with his Dogma, where was the focus puller?"
