So the Letus came in the mail today, and I decided to go walking around the city with my friend Chad to give it a quick test. I am really liking the potential of this adapter, I will give it a proper test very soon. Until then, enjoy what I have so far and feel free to comment.

Tom,
Looks great. Your Nikon 50mm looks fantastic.

Gotta love the Letus. This looks really good. What software did you use to color correct?
Tom Valko 6 months ago

I used Magic bullet looks for FCP. It's Definitely one of my favorite programs.
Tim Olsen 6 months ago

I don't own Magic Bullet, but do you think it is better than Color, that comes with the FCP suite?
Tom Valko 6 months ago

I have both Apple Color and Red Giant Magic Bullet Looks, and I really prefer to use Magic bullet looks. It has a very user friendly interface, and a generous amount of presets.

Good stuff, did you get a rail system?
Tom Valko 6 months ago

yeah I bought the bundle from Letus.
Chris Loughran 6 months ago

hey tom
how is the rail support from Letus holding up? I chose to go with Zacuto for base plate and rails. after spending the cash I am wondering if I should have just gone with the letus bundle.

Great rack focuses and operating, man. How did you find handholding the cam w/Letus- easy, awkward? Any pointers?
Tom Valko 6 months ago

Thank you Jesse,
the camera rig gets to be rather tiring after prolonged handheld use, I was supporting the camera with my right arm and pulling focus with my left. In my opinion i would have no problem using the rig handheld for some shots (while filming lets say a short film, or music video) but the keeping the cam steady while trying to maintain accurate focus would be the greatest challenge. I personally like the look of rough handheld shots sometimes, but you can really fine tune the focus and get amazing results when using a tripod.
