So is it really as simple as that? Just having a fixed distance? I have two Nikon lenses and when I adjusted flange focal distance one has sharp focus at infinity but the other one hasn't.....

Possible your lens needs to be collimated. One of them is off. Im guessing it's the wider angle of the two? I would set your BF to the widest lens you have.

I dunno...what's the difference with the Letus35a? I'm getting fantastic HD results with the regular Letus35. I'll have it up tomorrow.

Thanks Jonathan... could be possible.. I tested them some time ago on a digital Nikon still cam... and there was nothing wrong back then. But to be sure I'll repeat this test again.
Getting a lens collimated is quite expensive, right? *sigh*

Nevertheless adjusting the distance on the eeeehrm "other existing cheap adapter" is a major PITA! :-/

Guess who's on your tail....Soeren

You have a Letus too?

Soeren Mueller · October 28th, 2005, 07:43 AM

Hehe ;) ... no.. I meant the Micro35... I don't have (yet ;o) a Letus35. But after this ehm experience I think I'm going to try every one of the "cheap" ones out :-D

Jun Tang · October 28th, 2005, 07:48 AM

Damn...tooo early here. It's 7 am. Just finished with the work out.

"Cheap" ones...I don't think Quyen will like that. But I think he is cool enough...and realize the existent of his adapter is cheaper...but from what I seen...some really cool shots and from what I hear Customer service is cool too....

Except not including a battery can deter me from buying one :)

Cheap? you meant to say "ecomonically balanced price/preformance positive value optimal workflow solution"

:) (I'm just kidding)

I have done some testing with the LETUS 35. The results were as good as anything I have seen with the other more expensive ones. I am waiting for a step down ring to put the adaptor on my FX1. I will do a film transfer as soon as I get the step down ring and report the results.

Soeren Mueller · October 28th, 2005, 02:11 PM

*sigh* Of course I didn't really mean "cheap".. I meant erm well balanced pricing or whatever. ;-)

And I'm not totally happy with the one I currently own. It's not really plug'n'play...

Hello.
What lense did you use in the replicant video?

Btw, anything with sigur ros looks great. Specially with this song which it is their best.

Maheel Perera · October 29th, 2005, 09:45 AM

He has used a Canon FD 50mm 1.8

Really impressive footage, simple; one girl and some wind with short dof; beautiful; less is more.
After I saw this footage I decided to test this adapter...looking forward
to get it...soon by the delivery dudes.
Usually I´m working as a director and DOP with s16mm, Digibeta and IMX.
But on my free time as a challenge I have always tried to get DV look as
good as it gets as a challenge, especially with as "small" gear as possible;
to slam the fingers on some of the "only pro equipment"/ regular film guys. ;))
I love the challenge to get people turn their heads around and ask; is this
16mm or even 35mm. Sometimes they do sometimes not...
This footage is the one of the better I have seen from video...especially DV!
And it´s also a challenge to nail the mini/ pro 35 with simplier camcorders
and adapters.
Keep up the good work QL and the guy who filmed the girl. Beautiful girl btw.

All the best

Carl
