So I just bought a Letus 35 Extreme with a Nikon Lens attachment to go with my Canon XL H1. I could never get the shallow DOF with the 6X Wide Canon lens so that is something I'll definitely want to enjoy with the Letus35. The only things I want to shoot with the Letus35 attached are my indie noir films which are tight quarters, usually never wide. What is a good Nikon lens for that purpose? I've got a couple DX lens's for my wife's D60 (18mm-55mm and 70mm-200mm IIRC), but from what I read those are near impossible to get working well.
Also I'm not sure it goes here or not, but rails are highly recommended correct? Are the Letus V2 Rails good? In addition I take it a matte box is also recommended? Any suggestions on those with my setup? With all of the added weight, I'm also thinking a new tripod might be necessary, I've got Davis & Sanford ProVista with the V12 head, should I keep with the tripod and upgrade the head to the FM18 or just upgrade the whole setup? I'm only looking to spend around $600 for the tripod.
Thanks!
