Letus 1/3" Relay Lens - DVXuser.com -- The online community for filmmaking

Letus seems to be already delivering this relay lens...

Does anyone has it and using it with any Letus adapter -say Ultimate, Elite or Extreme- along with the HPX300?

Any comments, please?

Best,

Henry Epstein.

We recently got the Letus35 Extreme with a relay lens for our 300, but the relay lens in on back order and haven't gotten it yet. But we love the Letus.

Glad to hear that Jamski!
Please post your comments and videos as soon as you get the relay...
By the way, how are you testing the Extreme?
Cheers!

I too would love to hear about the relay and see some images

We are just using the stock 300 17x lens. It's a little cumbersome, but it'll do while we wait for the relay lens.

We only had it out once in the field, and we're still getting use to it. Focus is very difficult on the LCD with the Letus. We have a 17" field monitor ordered, but that, too is also on backorder.

Nobody so far?

Jamski?

Some footage with the relay and the stock lense would be really nice! Cheers, Max

I'm a little surprised that the relay costs almost as much as a 5D MII. But I guess that it what you get with the whole things get cheaper when you make thousands of them.

it probably has good lenses. lenses aren't cheap.

It better not be a good lens, it better be a great lens for the price. Letus seems like a quality company, so I doubt they'd be selling something that is crap.

Still think about how much most prime lenses sell for. This relay needs to have the optics of other $2,500 prime lenses, otherwise you're just paying for fashion & not function.
