Question for Queyen: Buying the XLflip v2 at DVinfo.net

Matthew Nayman · July 25th, 2006, 09:38 AM

Dear Queyen,

As you probably know, I am a user of the Redrock M2 adapter, but have recently been intrigued by the new version of the Letus XL.

I am considering purchasing one, but am interested in seeing some shots of the unit on an XL body, and also, in how the light-loss compares with that of the Redrock M2.

Anyone tried both?

Many thanks.

Hey Matthew,

I hope John Benton doesn't mind me referring to his post, but he has some snapshots of his Letus35XL v.2 on his XLH1 at this post. Maybe, he will post some pics on this site also.

I'll try and take better pix soon - I am very pressed for time though...so please be patient...
Also What I crave for this now is a PL mount !
to use Cine Lenses!
That would probably need Rod support

Wow... that thing is huge!

Looks to be only a few inches shorter than my rig with the stock XL lens!

Whats the word on using Cavision rails and mattebox? I already own em and the rig seems to jut out to the side...
