The Letus Ultimate 35mm Cine adapter enables any camera to offer the selective focus and shallow depth of field of a 35mm Cine or SLR still camera. Now it is
possible to achieve the most filmic, organic images with high quality at an affordable price. The Letus Ultimate helps take control of exactly what the viewer is intended to see by softening background and foreground elements in a pleasing, filmic way.
The Letus Ultimate allows the quality, flexibility and low cost of being able to use Nikon and Canon 35mm SLR prime lenses and zooms, as well as PL-Mount 35mm Cine lenses. The Letus Ultimate mounts directly on to a fixed lens on most palmcorders or directly via the Letus B4 Pro Relay lens on full size 2/3” cameras.
The Letus Ultimate is very sharp with only ½ f-stop of light loss. The 35mm taking lens can be stopped down as far as F22 without seeing the spinning ground glass
that projects the 35mm frame image for complete depth of field control. The Letus B4 Pro Relay lens, when combined with the Ultimate Cine adapter and 35mm prime SLR lens, is barely longer than a standard ENG video zoom lens, and is rated at an f1.5 for low light use.
We have a full set of eight, fast Nikon 35mm SLR prime lenses with Zacuto focus gears. The lenses most used for head shots would be the 35mm, 50mm and 85mm primes, which are rated at an f1.4 for indoor use. Also included in the set are 20mm, 24mm, 28mm, 105mm and 135mm SLR primes.
To compliment the Letus Ultimate 35mm Cine adapter, we offer rod support systems, swing away matte box, follow focus system, dual handles and shoulder mount for hand held work, filters, camera slider, heavier duty fluid heads and high quality HD LCD monitors with focus in red to aid in critical focusing.
The Letus Ultimate 35mm Cine adapter, B4 Pro relay lens and Nikon 35mm SLR primes set represent the highest quality, most affordable solution to attaining the 35mm selective focus aesthetic found in high-end productions.
