Letus35XL
 
Letus35XL, which uses relay lens on XL1(s) XL2 and XLH1, is on the final stage. I am working on back focus adjusting now and hopefully will have them available for order in 2 weeks or so. The computer that I am using to capture video, upload websites ... is down so I can't upload any video or picture of the unit now. Projecting price for the unit is $850 and will take 1-2 weeks for delivery. Anybody interested in betatesting this unit, please email me for pricing, thanks.

congrats on the relay unit. your genius never ceases to suprise me. id like to upgrade my letus to the relay unit soon. looking forward to seeing the unit and the footy... now hopefully when i show off my xl1s with letus and a long zoom lens i wont get : "thats a cool looking leaf blower" comment. is it a flip too?

ive been strongly debating getting your flip version.. but i knew it would be worth the wait.. consider this my preorder...

Congrats Quyen, your work always impresses me. I know this unit will be very attractive to all the XL users. And a HD100 version around the corner? Kreep it up, Quyen.

Anychance the relay lens can be sold seperatly for those of us who work with an M2?

Quyen Le March 9th, 2006 12:30 PM

Letus35XL is of course flip version. It's a lot more compact than the Letus35 Flip. Again, no rod support needed. I don't know how the M2 is made so I cannot make a relay lens system for it. I think P+S sells the relay lens separately, you probably can buy this to put on your M2. This unit has:
- Flip part to turn the image rightside up
- Back focus adjustable
- IRIS control
- Support bracket
and all other updates that the newer Letus35 has.
Thanks.

sounds wicked cool :)

Matthew Nayman March 9th, 2006 06:14 PM

Ah, I know P+S has em, but knowing you, yours would be cheaper (and most liekly better!)..

Also, despite the fact I bought an M2 over a Letus, I would love to have the Letus brand on something I own :)

The mini35 is an amazing piece of engineering, built with incredible quality and durability. Don't knock it. No matter how good, a $800 product is not going to be of the same quality. It's also 1/10th the price though, so something even remotely comperable for that price is amazing.

Count me in...I want one as soon as it's available.

Mike Marriage March 10th, 2006 04:08 AM

Are you going to make an HD100 version?

Quyen Le March 10th, 2006 04:50 AM

Yes. I think Wayne has already mentioned HD100. It will be next, thanks.

This does inevitably sound awesome =)

Which lenses would you guys recommend for this setup? By that I mean this new Letus 35XL unit... If I had to settle on 2 or 3 various lenses for allround filming purposes, still with cost efficiency baked into the price, since I am not made of money, which should I go for? I have a Canon XL2 PAL.

regards,

Is there a waiting list I can get on? :)

Glenn Gipson March 10th, 2006 07:21 AM

Does this adapter go directly on the body of the camera, or does it need to be added to the lens itself?

Andrew Todd March 10th, 2006 07:53 AM

right on the body. the adapter has a relay lens
