you don’t gain 2 stops. when you zoom into the GG with stock lens, you effectively lose 2 stops with that stock lens as it gets darker the more you zoom in.

yes to both

So with the Letus adapter you typically lose 1/2 stop, but by using a relay lens you gain 2 stops?

Perhaps a silly question (I am a novice), but just to be sure: with a Letus Ultimate you have the following set-up
EX3 -> standard lens -> Letus Ultimate -> 35mm prime lenses

With the relay the configuration becomes:
EX3 -> 1/2 Lens relay -> Letus Ultimate -> 35mm prime

Sorry for asking, I just want to make sure.

yes it works fine…only difference is ex3 is slightly better in low light and to go hand held with the f350 you will need some sort of grip as you lose the lens grip…zacuto do something called the zephyr plate with grip.

Hey Phil,

Have you tried this relay lens on your Sony F350? If so, how did you like working with it on the F350?

Does it attach directly to the F350 using the existing lens mount and nothing more?

Do you have any comments about any difference in the way it works with the F350 as opposed to the EX-3? (Apart from the obvious size factor between the two cameras, I mean.)

Thanks,
Mike

I am a film shooter recently taking on digital, and the adaptors interest me. About the EX-3 setup–The EX-3 literature says it has an adaptor to allow direct connection of 2/3″ lenses. Can an EX-3 owner then consider purchasing the Letus 2/3 relay lens and attaching that directly via that stock adaptor? Would that then allow one to use the Letus set-up on other 2/3 cameras and the EX3 without needing to have different relay lenses? Seems like a total “newbie question” but I am what I am…
Thanks so much!

Z72 is safe. I have pushed it to Z69 at times…

In their site, Letus says that it will be available in May.
But tell me one thing: Even with the X/Y alignment of the Ultimate, do you need to zoom wall the way to Z72?
That is the same amount of Zoom that you need to have in the Extreme…

Will it also be compatible through a reduction with the normal sized XDcams, for axample the 350, 355?
