Re: Advice on shooting with a Z1 + Letus35

I will second all those comments and add one more. I would try to avoid doing any compositing or keying if at all possible -- or if you do, do a lot of tests first, and probably try bluescreen instead of greenscreen. I know someone who was trying to use that exact Z1+Letus combo, and he could never eliminate the aberation of a kind of weird blue hazy line that was to the immediate left of most hard-edged objects on screen when using the Letus35. Also I'm not trying to stifle creativity by any means, but just be aware of the extreme limitations of the Letus35 and don't try to push it if you want good results. With those DoF gadgets I've found that you really get what you pay for in terms of design/construction/usability/results and the Letus35 is the cheapest one that you can buy for a reason. I'm not saying don't use it -- since you expressly said you don't want that kind of advice -- I'm just saying learn what it can do well, and what it can't, and stay well within those parameters.
