I recently added the canon 7d to my arsenal, and got several canon lenses, some of which I'd love to use on the Letus also.

How practical would it be to switch adapters on a shoot? I've heard that you have to re adjust the back focus when you go from one adapter to another. Also, would the Letus backfocus ring make this process a lot easier and more practical?
Thanks

Thanks to all who have come before me, your videos have not only served as an inspiration, but a guide to setup and shooting. The first few things I have shot have been good. Not great, but at least I can see what the adapter is supposed to do. A couple of questions if any of you have time to answer for me. First, I am having a vignetting issue. Is this due to a setting either on the Letus or my EX1 or due to the fact I may not be zoomed in to the ground glass enough? The second question is lenses. I would love to have a 105 mm or I have seen some lenses that zoom from like 85 to 200 mm. I know these cannot be autofocus lenses. Is there anything else I need to be aware of before I spend a bunch of money only to get the lens shipped and find out it won't work?
Thanks in advance for your advice and guidance.

Hi everyone,

I am about to invest into a Letus Ultimate lens adapter and was wondering the following:

Is the Letus Rod Support System and Letus Ultimate able to interface with the:

1- RedRock MicroMattebox
2- RedRock MicroFollowfocus V2

I am pretty sure it will work fine, just wondering if anyone has a similar setup.

I didn't have any ND filters on (maybe I should have) and my camera's aperture was wide open. WOW could I see the grain on the letus! It looked pretty bad. What's the deal here, should the ND filter be on? Is the extreme really this bad for bright shooting? What am I doing wrong? ]]> Let Us Discuss Letus Brian Kadar http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/let-us-discuss-letus/467339-bright-day-lens-f22-seriously.html http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/let-us-discuss-letus/466827-truly-letus.html Fri, 30 Oct 2009 21:22:26 GMT I bought this and it was advertised as a 1st Generation Letus Flip 35mm adapter. It definitely looks similar to the Letus, but the fact that it's made out of some sort of plastic rather than aluminum made me wonder if this is truly a Letus.

There are a couple of minor things that were a little puzzling:
- Dried glue spots on the edges of mirrors (doesn't effect image quality)
- Underneath the lens-mount end I found a "Universal" 2x adapter
- The battery pack was attached with velcro and there doesn't seem any other way you really could mount it
- lots of dried glue around the inside of the camera-mount end
- Black electrical tape around the middle of the mirror assembly.

What do you guys think?

What can you tell me about this adapter vs the newer models? Maybe a break down of the different versions and the differences between them? Just purchased a first generation and I'm curious as to how it's different from current models. ]]> Let Us Discuss Letus Evan Agee http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/let-us-discuss-letus/466790-information-about-1st-generation-letus-flip-adapter.html http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/let-us-discuss-letus/466515-tijuana-sunset-trailer.html Mon, 26 Oct 2009 23:47:42 GMT TIJUANA SUNSET TRAILER on Youtube
