The Letus Ultimate -- Experience Thread

And one more:

Oh, the lake shot is with the same Nikon 100mm f2.8... and the falls shot was with a Nikon 24mm f2.8

Don't remember the f-stops
 
First post updated to add Stephen Dempsey's footage. Anyone else that receives their ultimate is welcome to post here, thoughts images etc etc.
 
On the hunt for a Tokina 12-24/4 to complete the wide end of my lens set. I loves wide.


Kholi,

Just bought a used Ultimate yesterday. paid a fair bit more than could have got a new SGblade or Elite for, but I think I've made he right decision. I too am trying to beef up my wide-angle Contax collection. I can't afford the Zeiss 21mm but just bought a new Cosina 20mm on ebay for 90 bucks. You get what you pay for but it may get me out of a hole.

Does the Tokina 12-24mm you mentioned come in a C/Y mount, or do you use EOS adaptors on each of your lenses?

Cheers,
Peter

I don't think it does. I'm actually using the 11-16/2.8 now in Nikon Mount.

It's quite an excellent piece of glass all around.

Also, if you're looking for something a little faster, don't be afraid to try the Sigma 20/1.8. It's also a very nice fast 20mm and has great image quality.

That only comes in a Canon mount, yes? Are you using EOS adaptors on all your Contax lenses Kholi? Or just changing the Letus mount according to lens brand?

I actually haven't used the Sigma 20/1.8 on an adapter, just SLR. It's Nikon and Canon.

I have a Contax adapter though for my Letus Ultimate and use that with the Contax glass.
