The Letus would give greater control of depth of field. It gives the equivalent 'imaging' area of a 35mm stills camera by projecting onto a ground glass screen. The camera then records this projection.
A Nikon adapter means you can use Nikon lenses, but you still use the 1/3" imaging area of the video chips. This means the same DOF as with the standard lenses.
The focal length changes dramatically - you need to multiply by about 7 when you use a Nikon. This means some spectacular telephoto lenses!
If you want more info I suggest you try Philip Bloom's site and forum. There are some really helpful videos that explain everything. (Even I understood it...) I'm sure if you Google him, you'll find it.
