Thanks, yeah, that has become my favorite lens, it's a Nikon 35-70 f2.8 D lens. The D's are quite sharp. I've just made a much better encode and swapped it out. Check it out again if you get a chance!

Fantastic. And yes, even better with the latest version.

Looks much better with the latest re-encode. I don't think the original one had a HD option. Nice work.

I love the feel of the video. Evocative. Reminds me of Rosetti's "In the Bleak Mid-Winter."

I also shoot with a V1. I plan to buy a 35mm adapter . . . just struggling with which one.

Daniel, The Letus Extreme mounted fine to the V1 with the correct step ring. It eats up a little more light, but I understand not as much as some of the others. As you know, the V1 is no low light champ, so that was important to me. I did not try any others so I can't comment on them, the LEX is pretty sweet though!

wow....

Beautiful.

wonderful shots, the wide of the lake, trees and picnic table was so crisp and detailed. good stuff.

Your work is beautiful!

amazing if you dont mind me asking what HD camcorder did you use ?

Matteo,

It is a Sony V1u. HDV 24p camcorder. Came out about a year and a half ago.

A work of art. Your film is a great inspiration. I'm completely new to video altogether so let's see what I can do with with my little Xacti HD1000 ;-)

Gorgeous, gorgeous stuff. Really nice music, as well.

Favorite shot was the leaf in the snow at 3:30 with the sunset behind it. Bravo.

Thanks for the comments! Spring is here in the Northeast and I did some shooting the other day....hope to have a new Letus video here soon.

Very nice, I really liked this.

Wow. I almost cried, it made me miss Wyoming so much. I have been living in Alabama for five years now, but I still have dreams of being in that surreal week-old snow with the dry grass and sage growing through it.

Damn.

Wonderful, and I love the music.

wow ! looks really great. how did you manage to get a 5-minute video to such a small file size !?

Great images & music, glad to have that weather behind us.... where did you shoot this?

Absolutely beautiful. Closer to photography than video. I'm a stills photographer myself and feeling quite inspired by seeing this. How did you do the moving camera shots so smoothly?

Wow...
speechless..

nice, makes me look at my V1U with a new appreciation. How did you capture the video - HDV or some other intermediate codec?

This video is over the top. Well done. It's a great example of what can be done these days with relatively little money. This is the type of video that inspires me to pick up my camera. Thank you.

I just ordered the letus ext and have been getting confused on all the lens choices. obviously the 35-70 zoom worked great. any black edges? can you zoom manually while filming? Also you mention maco? What are your settings? I am using for cine style weddings.

My Letus is on the way, and I purchased the rail system, and follow focus.
I want it for detail shots, and for effect. I have mamiya med format lenes
that I want to try as they have great glass. One is a 110mm 2.8, 80mm 2.8
and 150 4, I am purchasing the mamiya to nikon adapter. I am a pro
photographer first, and love shallow depth of fields. I have been shooting
my fx1s in manual with, with manual shutter and iris, but still not as good
as I want. Also I noticed your rendered films look razor sharp on line
too. I have not been able to get mine to look that good online. I am using
premier cs3, I import HDV and export dv avi,, unless I burn a blue ray.
What has been best for you? I also want to thank you for taking time to
chat about this stuff, I am sure you have plenty to keep you busy.

CHeers

Hi John, I m also looking at the LEX n I'm using a FX1 too. Would be grateful to see yr post here once u get some footage :) To load on Vimeo, I would suggest 720p WMV-HD but u need to tweet the frame rate to what Viemo accepts. I think it works for 30p if I'm not wrong.

I liked very much the smooth movements, great job. What tripod you used?.

Lovely visuals. I had no idea you could attach a letus to a V1U. I think I'll get one for mine! Do you need a special attachment for the extra weight on the front?

Oh, and did you do a reverse telecine on this? Or do you edit in 29.97?

Everyone has said it, but I will say it again - beautiful.

Beautiful....!

I finally got my Letus, check out my next day attempt. let me know what you think.

Stunned and speechless. You absolute visual poet, sir.

beautiful

Visually poetic. Great job capturing winter feelings.

Beautiful, the colours, the light, the sensitivity of your work.

I have been watching so many videos here at Vimeo, but this one is still the one that I like the most.
I downloaded it, and have watched it at least a dozen times.

I am sure that many people, including myself of course, consider getting a Letus35 adopter after watching this beautiful video.

There are two stuffs that I have come to know here at Vimeo.
One is therefore the Letus35 adopter, and the other is "Magic Bullet Looks".

Almost all the videos that I find beautiful here at Vimeo are shot using Letus35 adopter and edited using "Magic Bullet Looks", but you don't mention "Magic Bullet Looks" here, so you did not use it for this video?

If so, it is good to know that one can make such a beautiful video image as this one without "Magic Bullet Looks", because I am really broke now after buying a very expensive Letus35 adopter.

Great images! See you in Athens!

Wow.... beautiful!

amazing work

i love this work!

Thank you for this wonderful video!

Do you have pics of your rig? I also have his camera (jsut got it). What camera settings did you use?

And I"m inspired beyond words.

Hello! I love your work, greetings from Lima Peru.
I have a question, hopefully you can answer. I also have a HVR V1 and the truth that when placed in the pan 24p I get clumsy. Why is that? Edited with Premiere. thanks! (Sorry, I do not speak English)
