Well here you go. Pictures of my DVX+Letus35FE PLUS Cavision Rails. The rails cost more than I had anticipated because of shipping AND the 20% tax I had to pay! But it helps keep my DVX+Letus steady and the risks of the Letus snapping my DVX front bits into two have most likely been reduced.
Wait there are more pics, these are more intriguing!
If you see the attached 35mm adapter on my DVX, it looks nothing like the Letus35FE.. ??? The Letus is round, this one is squarish.
The adapter you see here is an actual prototype that is being build here right in Brunei.. YES Brunei, for the DVX. We tested it out briefly and as you can see the construction is pretty sturdy. But that's not where the money is. The money lies with the image quality and does it hold out? Well it's a prototype so there are things that need improvement (unfortunately it suffers from some chromatic abberations given the current setup) but first impressions are this little baby can potentially outperform the Letus35FE in 2 departments if the kinks are ironed out: 1) it loses alot less light (letus is 1.5 stops, this one I reckon maybe by 0.5 to 1.0 stops), and 2) the Ground Glass is smoother and hence picture quality could be less grainy than the Letus. But all will be revealed in due time.
