Hi,
First short I did with my new Letus35 Extreme adapter. Lens used was Canon FD 50mm f1.4 lens. Edited and color graded with Vegas Pro 8.

I'll be using this combo for shooting web based stuff and my Sony EX1 (when it finally arrives) for TV and DVD destined material.
I'm really happy with the Letus. An instructional video on Letus site would be good for first time users though. Took me a while to realise you really have to zoom quite much into the ground glass to get rid of vignetting (which you are supposed to do). The adapter support bracket screws could be a bit better as well. They are really small and its difficult to tighten them with your fingers. The important thing however that is the quality is amazing and I just wish I would have had something similar already 5 years ago when I got my miniDV camera. I can't recommend bying or making an adaptor for yourself enough.
