He has put in a new type of ground glass, one with a more film like bokeh, but one that struggles more with smaller apertures. I don\u2019t think this is something he plans on releasing, he just wanted me to play around with it to see what I thought. From what I understand it\u2019s a lot less forgiving in certain situations and is not best used by someone with little or no 35mm adaptor experience. But until I give it a thorough going over it\u2019s hard to comment on it at all.<\/p>\n<p>I was going to do some test shooting today but the back focus was way out and I didn\u2019t want to open her up outside and correct it (by moving the GG slightly towards the slr lens). It\u2019s done now and I can tell you from my brief test in the kitchen tonight the Bokeh is actually really really nice.<\/p>\n<p>I doubt I will get a chance to do another proper test with it until next weekend, just too busy. But it will be worth it!<\/p>\n<p>Instead I went to see \u201cJumper\u201d, it was pants. Such a shame. Want a great idea and it was a great book. Looked nice though<\/p>\n<p>By the way good news. I now have two XDCAM EX1 cameras. I was paid for job by a client who bought two but only needed one so paid me with his spare. A bargain. Now I have one adaptor free camera and one with the Letus permanently mounted! By the way the client was not Sony!<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/new-letus-extreme-tests-delayed-for-a-week\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yst_prominent_words":[677,810,811,809],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=207"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=207"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=207"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=207"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=207"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
