The Brevis system http://www.cinevate.com is also very impressive.

I’ve looked at your footage — gorgeous! Thanks

A few questions:

How robust is the Letus Extreme? Build quality? Lens mount? Motor(!)? Incredibly well built. As solid as the mini 35. Lens mount can be just about any 35mm lens including PL mount.

Can you detail what lenses you are using?

(I’ve got my old collection of Canon FD breech mount manual focus lenses I’d love to get back into action! This includes 15mm f2.8 Fisheye, 20mm f2.8, 35mm f2, 50mm f1.4, 50mm f3.5 macro, 135mm f2.5, 200mm f2.8, and a 300mm f5.6). I use fast nikon primes, as well as Zeiss 50mm Macro and 85mm f1.4 as well as two Hartblei shift tilt lenses and a some Sigma primes.

How much bother is changing lens mounts, say Canon FD to Canon EOS? Your Canon lenses will be fine, although you could do with an 85mm. Eos lenses are a slightly more problematic due to there not being manual iris control. Lens mount changing is simple

(I’ve got a set of manual focus Canon T/S primes in EOS mount – imagine view camera moves on a video camera…)

What kind of rod supports? I use the Letus own rod supports. Very good they are too

Also, what are the tripod requirements. I’m considering the Vinten ProTouch Pro-6. I have a brilliant Miller solo ds20 tripod. quite superb

Still, the whole premise is a bit incredible — how can an image projected onto a vibrating ground glass possibly compare in sharpness and contrast? Does this thing *really* look like prime lenses on a full resolution HD monitor? it looks amazing. Download the HD versions of Kew Gardens in winter, piccadilly furs and of course the new one my autumn’s done come. There are 720p downloadable versions linked there. Also read my blog for loads more info on the Letus Extreme!

Thanks

Still nothing. Could the analogue part of the Kona card have failed?
