Hello All
I purchased a Letus Economy a while back. I used it for one shoot and found there was a lot of grain in the video. We discontinued using it for that production. It has sat in a box since. Today I had the opportunity to play with it for a long time. I can see tons of grain as I pan the camera. It is especially visible in darker areas of an image. I have never used, nor do I even know anyone else with a 35 adapter. So I have nothing to compare this to. The grain is a real killer though. It is definetly coming from the GG. Ive tried every focusing combo possible and cannot get rid of it. I even tried to enhance the Vibration of the spinning motor by adding a little piece of tape (to add weight to one side) to the odd side of the out-of-round spinning metal wheel that causes it to vibrate. It helped smooth out the grain a little but not enough.
Is this Normal with Adapters in general?.
The Moire Effect it gives is not desirable, at all.
I know this may be hard to answer without a pic or something, any input would be appreciated. The Economy looks to be very well made and thought out. I was very surprised to see this. I had written Letus about it a while back but have not heard from them to date. I know that is not normal. They were wonderful in getting this to me in an extreme rush as well as answering all my questions at the time, maybe the email was overlooked.
