i'm minutes away from purchasing a letus35a adapter... however, i have not completely figured out my configuration. --> i own a couple canon lenses, however, im not sure if they will work because they have 'contacts' on the ends of them.
anyways, i've posted some pictures... the lenses are used on my digital rebel xt.

will they work with a step up adapter or anything if i want to use the letus35a??

the lens in the picture has 58mm threads. -- please someone help me figure this out!

here are some pictures:

The lens you have pictured there is an EF lens, and I don't believe is supported by the letus. The Older Canon FD lenses are supported, as well as most Nikon Lenses, although the newer digital lenses will most likely show some vignetting.
 
thanks man. depressing fact... ah well, looks like i'll have to scrimp and save up for a new lens. -- any suggestions? :thumbsup: ---> also, does anyone have ANY idea why my pictures come out so BLURRED!? i'm using an 8.0 megapixel canon digital rebel xt, and for some reason my pictures have been turning out blurry like this. i know this isn't a dvx question, but, just the same. any help?

Your shutter speed is too slow. Are you shooting using the "P" setting? If so change it over to shutter priority or manual and set the shutter speed to at least 1/30th of a second, if your using a fairly wide angle lens. You might have to raise your light level in your house or raise your camera iso to take pictures in such low light, or finally just mount the camera on a tripod.
 
well i actually lit the scene when i took a picture of the lens with a set of lights i owned (more just for fun than anything else) -- i shot this first with an ISO of 1600 but got the same result so i switched back down to 800. as far as the shutter speed, i'll have to check on that. i was using my 300mm zoom lens so that probably had something to do with it (i was taking pictures of my other lens!! :grin:)

anyways. thanks again!
 
if your using your 300mm at the long end, here is a simple thing to remember to know if your shutter speed is too slow. . .
take the length of the lens, in this case 300mm and make it your slowest possible shutter speed, ie. 1/300th of a second, or round up to the nearest possible speed, normally 1/320th of a second. So for indoor lighting, your going to need alot of light to shoot at the far end of the lens. If your using a 75mm lens, then your slowest shutter speed should be no less than 1/75th of a second, rounded up to 1/80th of a second. This will make sure that when you shoot your hand wobble is compensated by the quickness of your exposure. Looking at your images, it is indeed slow shutter speed that has caused your "out of focus" shots, indicated by the motion blur around the center of the image.
