Letus35 suggestions, advice

[Thomas J. O'Hara]

This is for all you Letus35 owners out there!

I have a music video shoot this weekend and I'm going to be giving this adapter a go. Any words of wisdom for an adapter noob?

Lenses - I've got my hands on a sigma 20mm 1.8, Canon 50mm 1.8, and Canon 100mm 1.8.

I wish I could go with faster lenses, but that's all I've got. I won't be shooting indoors much, so I figure there should be plenty of light outside, right?

I look forward to any advice you can give me. thanks.

1.8 is pretty fast. 1.4 would be a hair faster but at least it's not 3.5-4! Good luck. It'll be fine outside. Just watch the sky for noise. And use a polarizer or ND grad.

do you mean put the filters on the dvx lens, or put them on the other lenses?

35mm lens not DVX. Here's my setup:

For the most DOF adjust the iris on the camera, not on the 35mm lens. Use the in camera ND's as much as possible. I always use the zebra lines and over expose everything just a little bit, then tone it down when editing. The more light the better with 35mm adapters.

ENJOY THE SHOOT WITH THE (my) LETUS! haha
