- This is my very first test with my new Letus Extreme on the Canon XH A1s. It's just a really rough handheld sequence that I really did for myself to test out a couple of my lenses and get a feel for the adapter as i have never used one before. The lenses used were a Canon FD 50mm 1.8 and 135mm 2.5. The colours were edited in 'Color'

I bought a bundle which included the adapter, support rails, lens mount and hard case. The whole thing came to about $1600 US. You'll have to buy your own lenses though. I opted for Canon FD as they are relatively cheap to get on ebay. The whole rig connected to the camera is pretty heavy i'll need a bit more practice with it especially with handheld but the results you can get are really worth the price
Good job man, beautiful footage and colors!
Really enjoyed that :) and good example of what the Letus does
@Lomito yeah thats right. ebay is full of Canon FD lenses as they seemed to go a bit out of favour a few years ago so they are also relatively cheap. you need to make sure you have the Canon FD lens mount for the letus so you can attach it to the adaptor.
@Lomito Thanks Lomito,
if you want the most versatile lens out of those two i would say go for the 50mm hands down. The 135mm is a portrait lens and was only used in this test for the close up shots of her smoking.
Hope that helps
wow the looks are amazing it almost looks like film, what kind of preset did you use?
sick image my friend. Thank you for sharing. Im sure i want this camera now!
i really like the footage. would you be able to link us photos to your setup. i wanna see how it all looks like.
really nice video. great quality
did you have any problems importing the data in final cut pro?
and does this camcorder use minidv or sd card to save material?
What lens are you using with the LetusExtreme. I have this same setup and I think this look is great. This is great, super impressed with your video.
@tubetoprocker I used two different lenses here, most of it was filmed using a canon FD 50mm 1.8 and the closer up shots were filmed using a canon FD 135mm 2.5, thanks for watching
I wonder if you can get the same result with that SG Pro lens...? Great stuff.
great quality. Nice piece.
i think the handheld look gives it a nice vibe
@LaDolceLingua I have only had a little experience shooting on a DSLR. From what I can see in good lighting conditions there is no difference in quality between the two. If you prefer the small DOF then by adding a DOF adaptor to the XH A1s will give you exactly that. In low natural lighting you would have to say a good quality DSLR like the Canon 5D mkII wins out though. In saying that I would not go on a film shoot with just a DSLR. I can see a place where using both would be beneficial though
Bloc Party was the perfect music choice!
Hi. I'm interested in purchasing these two items (XHA1 and Letus 35mm) to start shooting some shorts and maybe one day a feature. I tried watching this in 1080p and it was jumpy and never quite flowed. In 720p it flowed nicely, so I wonder if because the max this camera can manage is 1080i (interlaced not 1080p - progressive) does this mean that you will never get smooth videos at 1080p?
@LaDolceLingua I shoot with a Canon 7D and a XH-A1s. I wouldn't say that one was better than the other, but they do compliment wach other quite well. The 7D has some moire/aliasing issues. It also doesn't handle fast moving action well. It is small though and easy to maneuver with. It also performs great in low light if you have the appropriate fast lens. The XH-A1 Handles fast motion better and doesn't have the same moire/aliasing, and has decent low light performance.
You made this mini dv camcoder look better than DSLRs ; )
very nice.
what did you use to import the video to your computer? (RCA?)
TY

@bestamerica this was the first time I had ever used my camera with a letus extreme, all together the rig is very heavy and i was using it handheld as i was just mucking around for my own benefit so yeah it is very shaky! these days i use a shoulder mount or a tripod depending on what i'm shooting
@pr12WingYin No as long as I have all my import settings right I don't have any problems importing video into final cut. The camera uses HDminidv. Hope that helps :)
Cool video. Thanks for sharing.
That is a sexy camera!!!(: I know what i'm investing in now!!!!
@ceciliapotenza the camera cost me about $6K when I got it about 6 months ago. you'll need to fork out about another $2K though for an adaptor if you want a shallow depth of field as the camera cannot achieve that on its own unless of course you were to zoom very close in. thanks for watching
I hope i get an answer :) But what were all the lenses and adapters you used for this video? I saw in the discription but i dont quite understand how the nexus fits on a 72mm canon? i have the xh a1 and want the letus extreme but im not sure what i need for it all, could you help! thanks
B-E-A-UTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!
@GABOREMES thanks, I didn't actually use a preset when I filmed this, I graded everything in post
what band is that? (by the way, this test video is amazing)
THATS IT! IM BUYING IT!....
amazing! what adapter you use?
Bloc Party and lovely quality
I have the same camera and am considering a 35mm lens adapter. How much did your entire rig cost excluding the camera?
Making any short films any time soon?
How come on CNET Reviews it says this camera cannot record in 720p, but your video is in 720p? Might be a dumb question...
Thanks!
@DaRingMasters thanks man i used final cut pro to edit
dude this is fucking awesome !
wow....really god
how much will fiseye lenses comeout on these im thinking on purchasing one pretty soon.
Tolle Aufnahmen ! Wir haben auch eine XH-A1 im Verein.
@DanielGClapp nicely said.
I FUCKING WANT IT!
What lense mount did you use with the canon?
@VILMADIAZYLASONORA
WHat country are you in? There are a few good places I know in Canada
Guerilla style filming gives the film a nice look especially in scenes that has alot of action and drama.
fuck! that picture looks good.
How did u edit in 1080p if the camcorder does just 1080i?
five out of five stars. would give it 100 if i could. also, the chic is way hot.
what's the name of that song, and who is it by?
what lens are you using
@seven7years thanks.
what store in NYC sells these??
muy buenooooo
What lens used?
@NickZwanenburg

why this camera is always shake shake shake,,,
try use it a HOLD STILL with a camera to help less shake shake shake,,,
or use a tripod
not even close thats why they make both video and still shot cameras
I think its funny when people buy Really nice Cameras, thinking they are going to make awesome movies, but then they realize that IDEAS dont come in the box. End up not making any movies/short/films etc.
And people like me who have scripts and storyboards yet no cameras :(
turn off the music, it influences you. If you came to see a camera test. The music makes it seem better.
i like the part where she smokes a cigg
Keep pressing 0 :-)
find friends with cameras heh
По налепят свою хренову цветокорректорный и не понятно как сама камера снимает....
