Letus35A Test on XL2 with 50mm 1.8 FD
I have finally managed to grab 10 minutes to do a test with the Letus35, XL2, and the canon FD 1.8 50mm. The subject matter is pretty dull and rushed (had to do this in my lunch hour) but it shows...

I just attached the lens to the letus35. The aperature setting on the lens does nothing when attached. It looks like it is fully open (at it's widest), which I also believe is the default...

Why have video lenses anyway
May be a little naive on my part, but if 35mm lenses are better than HD & SD video lenses, why have video lenses at all ? I've never understood why video cameras don't use 35mm lenses, especially...
