Fine tuned the letus35 Mini / HG10 to get rid of the vignette. Mounted the EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM lens along with my extension tube.

Extension tubes are an easy/cheaper way of getting a macro lens. The tube basically just allows the lens to obtain focus closer to the front of the lens than it would otherwise be able to. This makes any lens into a macro lens.

Just playing around - testing what is possible...

    You finally got it :) Completely changes the camera. How do you like it??

    PS go Finland (reference to Nokia). Hopefully that country will get me a EU passport thanks to my girlfriend ;)

    I absolutely love it - but considering the price, you really need to know in advance :)

    A gadget like the Letus has some very destinct advantages and ditto disadvantages. Shallow DOF is a very powerful tool that is hard to obtain without an adaptor or a very expensive camcorder. On the other hand, if you want ease of use and fully automatic shooting, then this is not a gadget to consider getting.

    There are a few alternatives out there that one should consider as well, depending on budget and usage.

    Good luck on getting the passport. I have no idea if that's hard to get or not. So, you are the type who likes to sit in a hot sauna hitting yourself with branches and running outside in the snow to roll around totally nude? :) I've never been to Finland but that's the image I have in my head :)

    Hahahah! "hitting yourself with branches." Very classy indeed. Thanks for all the input! Very helpful. What other alternatives were you thinking of?

    The video looks amazing . . hard to believe it's a consumer cam!

  • Utroligt smukke billeder, du har skabt med dit grej.

    Det er din skyld, at mine sparepenge nu skal gå til en Letus Mini. Hvad måtte du slippe i danske kroner for det imponerende stykke værktøj (ink. moms/told)?

    Hej Beni

    Jeg købte den via Letus egen hjemmeside, men der findes dog også en europæisk forhandler i England som muligvis er billigere.

    Min pris:
    Letus35 Mini = USD 1.100,- + USD 213,- til forsendelse = DKK 6.400,-
    Rod support = USD 400,- + USD 70,- til forsendelse = DKK 2.300,- (findes nu kun i en endnu dyrere udgave)

    Dansk told/moms for begge dele = DKK 3.200,-

    Den engelske forhandler:

    Håber ikke det afskrækker alt for meget :)
