Got some sun here in London so shot out and got some outdoor shots

Quicktime - H264 25mb 4min random stuff


Quinn

fault with file - will post shortly..

Quinn,

Very nice, probably some of the best I've seen yet. Only One shot seemed to be with a tripod though. The film look these adapters achieve is lost with hand held in my opinion.

Also, I had to use VLC to open it. I have QT 7 but it would not open in it even though you say it's H.264.

link is working now.. QT or VLC thanks Dave..

Iris wide open f1.8
ND used
Lense wide open @2.5
50i
standerd dv mode

Really nice footage. I could see the GG in a lot of the shots, also the vinngetting was pretty bad...it seems all Letus footage has this, or at least a lot of it. Is that a limitation of your setup or just user error...because that is beautiful footage otherwise.

I personally like the vinngetting. I usually apply a small bit of it in post any way.

I'm not saying the vinngetting looked bad, but of course it would be nice to not always have it present.

I agree completely :)

User error...I see the edges of the ground glass before I see any vignetting on my Letus.

Really depends on the camcorder used. The smaller the camcorder lens, the more it suffers from vignetting. Did you use the letus with a 58mm cam like Quinn's XM2, or bigger?

I have the Sony PDX 10 with a 37mm lens and NO vignetting... NONE.

How about use a 50mm slr lens instead of the 135 and see if you get the vignetting, it would let more light in with a wider aperture. I use a Canon 50mm 1.4 and get ZERO vignetting. With the PDX10


Anyway not sure if this helps though... Nice video...

I think he was not zoomed in enough was the real issue. I can see the edges of the ground glass holder.

Craig,
Yes also depends on the SLR lens used, ofcourse.

If you put a 28mm lens on your setup, you may start to see some vignetting, whereas the exact same lens/setup on a 72mm DVX100 will probably show less vignetting.

Good to hear ..

ok first up - what settings would you suggest to avoid vignetting? zooming in will help, personally i quite like that look.. kind 'lomo' ish..

Luke - what do you mean you could the GG - you mean grain - or the edges in the full frame section - could be batteries 2xAA mght not be enough..

anyway - i'll take note and shoot some more and get it up, appreciate the comments alot .. in fact why dont more people post footage .. i mean there are alot of new letus/35mm adaptor owners out there and we read lots of words..! lets see some footage .
