I've never seen 62mm step-down rings selling on the Letus official website.

What ring do you use to attach the adapter to your V1? Where did you buy it?

Thanks.

hi Pietro

I bought my step ring from ebay,

Hi Pedro, looks real good !

Did you experience any problems setting up the letus extreme? How long did it take from receiving the letus to set-up and get working well?

I am thinking of buying it myself.

many thanks

Hi

No i didn´t have any problems. The only thing i found is the v1, like the hvx 200, is shifted to the right, so you have to zoom further, but i'm very pleased with it.

Sherif Choudhry · May 10th, 2008, 01:10 AM

Pedro, did you use a follow-focus and matte-box system as well? Which manufacturer?

I must say your movie has really inspired me to stop thirsting after the latest gadgets and just go out and shoot - but the ability to control depth of field is fantastic - i wonder why sony just doesnt build a HDV camera with a 35mm lens system ?

Pedro Martins · May 10th, 2008, 08:38 AM

Nop, i didn't use any, but i miss the use of a follow focus. I need one for shure.

Sherif Choudhry · May 10th, 2008, 11:46 AM

Pedro, which ring size did you buy on the Letus site, and what was the name of the step-down-ring you bought on ebay?

many thanks for your help.

Pedro Martins · May 10th, 2008, 12:38 PM

I bought the 77mm letus extreme, because in the future i will buy a EX1 or EX3, i also bought the nikon mount.
The ring is 62mm to 77mm step up ring.
