Letus35 Extreme

Teodor Miljevic · September 29th, 2007, 04:02 PM

A question to Quyen. Will the new hd100 extremeversion have the same 1,9 crop factor or will it cover the whole 35mm field of view?

I wonder if there will be a letus introduced with the JVC mount, but a non-flip version, to suit the HD200 and HD250 which have their own built in image flip?

Would the Extreme work with smaller cams as well as with bigger ones like with Canon HV20 and A1? From what I have experienced when a adapor works fine with one it will vignette vith the other...

Cheers,

Is that the Canon A1 or Sony A1?

Toenis Liivamaegi · October 2nd, 2007, 05:57 AM

Oh, I meant the adaptor interchangeability between the Canon XH A1 and Canon HV20 without adjustments to the optical system.

Another thing that keeps me on this board lately is that when will the evergreen sharp-or-not bokeh issue pop out as light loss and so called sharp-edged bokeh quality are quite a bit related so you can`t get both as fas as I know. But that`s the issue with only really boring content.

Cheers,

Hey folks. I am working with the Le brothers as a product rep. I have a Letus Extreme and some Canon FD lenses (24mm f2.0, 50mm f1.4, 200mm f2.8) attached to an HVX 200 that I use to demo the Letus Extreme. It is available for you to fiddle with and do some test footage in NYC. I am happy to meet with you to let you see what this thing can do. It is a truly amazing device and brings a lot of excitement and fun back to shooting. If you want to get on a list for a demo day to be held at a large NYC photo video retailer, send me an email and I will put you on the list. - dravani@gmail.com

Directly from Quyen himself:

- Will Letus EX work with HV20 without vignetting?
There will be no vignetting.

- How long would it take setting Letus Ex each time you need it?
Set up will be less than 5 minutes (also depending on the rail system you have)

I'll be using it with HV20 and Z1 so I think Extreme will be my choice.

Regards
