I've been debating all week whether to shoot with our without the Letus adaptor for a shoot this weekend. I'll be capturing highlights from one of our area's premier sporting events, hydroplane racing. Lot's of colorful, high speed boats throwing huge rooster tails running up/down the river. I plan to shoot both video and stills, but I only have one Nikon zoom lens, so if I shoot with the Letus adaptor, I'll be swapping the lens between the EX3/Letus Ultimate and our Nikon D700.
The question is, would the boats look "better" with the adaptor, or is the shallow DOF look not necessary for a sporting event such as this?
Anyone shoot boat racing with their EX1/EX3? Currently, I'm leaning toward not shooting with the adaptor. Although I'd also like to shoot some people shots and the adaptor would be nice for that.
Thoughts? (here's some example photos from a previous event)
