Firstly Bob,
Many thanks for your reply. Some interesting suggestions!
I'm loathe to tinker with the unit (I'm more of an operator than engineer) because the unit was purchased to fit a purpose, not to be adapted and bastardised to do so. What's really disappointing is that I've used other Letus units that don't display the same problems! This can only mean that there are massive differences between each unit sold! I wonder though, if this 'supposed' relay lens that Letus are 'bringing out' would solve the problem. I'm really beginning to wonder about this company. This relay was supposed to be released in March, April, then May, then June and so on............
The edge distortion (when somewhere near focus) is terrible, so we cannot even 'make do' with a fudge of correct focus.
The excellent Zacuto unit does allow for doglegging and alignment alteration but I find the filter ring on the Fujinon too stiff to skew the positioning. I'll try again, but I'm always reluctant to start forcing things into a position they were not designed to be in!
I'll attach an image of the unit assembled for you nonetheless.
Many thanks for your thoughts Bob.
Ted,
You use full macro and infinity zoom????? Really? I can't see how that could work. You've got my mind ticking now. Can't think of a situation where I've ever had any lens on any camera like that but, hey, I'll give it a go.
Many thanks
On the whole I'm massively disappointed. We've just ordered a totally useless lump of glass in metal case. I'm nearing the point where it goes back. Not surprisingly I've had no reply from Letus, and I really don't expect one either.
