I JUST GOT MY LETUS!!!!!!!!!!

I found used nikon lenses online and they look great.
Nikon 35mm 1.4
Nikon 50mm 1.4
Nikon 85mm 2

I intentionally go the letus with the 82mm ring even though my camera takes a 72mm. I did this because I won't have my DVX forever and my next camera will probably be an HVX200 or the 170 by panasonic. I also got it because the 72-82 step up ring was a lot less than buying the additional letus ring. (Yes, I am a cheap skate, thanks for asking.)

But I do know where to spend money! I knew the letus weighted a lot so I got Zacuto rails to support all the weight. These will come in handy when I do sports shoots as well as the usual "not exactly safe" stuff.

I'm helping a buddy of mine shoot he senior thesis tomorrow with the camera. I'll see if I can post the results here for you guys to see.

Oops. Look like the picture didn't load. You can see it here. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2308/2497497487_62e2522fc3_b.jpg

Looks nice! Where did you pick up the 35mm 1.4? I'd like to add one of those to my collection.

Thanks Flow.

I found the 35mm 1.4 at Adorama in their used lenses section. http://www.adorama.com/catalog.tpl?op=itemlist&cat1=Used&cat2=Nikon%20Manual%20Focus&cat3=Lenses

I almost didn't buy it because it was listed at a lower condition than I usually buy. But I made an exception given its rarity.

Good luck finding one of your own.

Last weekend I did my first test shoot with the letus. Here's the link to the video if you want to see it.

Some nice shots in there. I particularly like the closeups. I ended up buying a 35mm f2. I did see some newer f1.4's on eBay but they were asking $700 for them. The f2 should suffice for now.

Is andormam a legit place to buy from? Im always skeptical.

Andorama is legit. All the lenses I purchased arrived as expected in the condition specified by the website. They raiting system is solid. Make sure you read the details of it so you know exactly what you are getting before you buy.
