Selling Letus35XL rev1

Arnaud Paris · October 23rd, 2006, 02:33 PM

Hello all,
I wanted to let you guys know that I'm separating from my LetusXL35 rev1; including in the package is a 50mm Nikkor lens at f1.4 (the one that was used to shoot the demo footage.) It has cristal clear glass; no scratch nor fungus. The focusing ring is a little hard midway but does not prevent accurate focus.

You can check footage shot with this adapter on a canon XL2 using the 50mm Nikkor:

(it's 8Mo, need QuickTime7, right click on the link and chose “save as…”)

I’m selling this adapter because I’m getting ready to make the jump to the new 4k Red camera, and I need money for the down payment! I took really good care of the adapter and lens. If interested PM me.

I gotta say that this is an amazing product. It made me so crazy about getting closer to film that I decided to make the big jump toward 4k.

Nevertheless, I hope that you guys will appreciate the footage I was able to accomplish with this Letus. I truly think that the real digital film revolution was fostered by people like Quyen.

Hi Arnaud,

I don't know much about theses adaptors... but I might be interested in getting one. I have some questions:

- Is this adaptor have the ability to filp the image, or you have to do it in post?

- What is the difference between rev 1 and others revisions?

- Do you have some pictures of it?

- How much are you asking for?

Thanks!

Yes it does flip the image internally so no need to do it in post.
The versions that came out afterwards offered a little less light loss to my understanding plus some adjustment for back focus.
For the other info you asked contact me at aparis@sysmicfilms.com
Thanks

Just wanted to say good luck with selling this...I put my LetusXL v1 up for sale about 2 months ago, and didn't get a single bite. I still have it sitting here, so I guess it is my "backup" unit now. :(

What's your main unit now and why are you selling the Letus?
