Zacuto Offers Affordable Depth of Field Adapter for 2/3-Inch Cameras
To date 2/3-inch cameras have been primarily used for news, broadcast, sports and corporate work, but have been too expensive for most independent filmmakers. The Letus35 2/3-inch B4 compact relay lens kit now available from Zacuto promises to give independent filmmakers all of the components for an affordable depth of field shooting system on a 2/3-inch camera.
The kit components include: the Letus35 2/3-inch B4 relay lens, Letus35 DOF adapter (extreme, elite and ultimate), Zacuto 2/3-inch camera kits (docu, cine or indie) and Zeiss ZF optics.
The kit is universal and quick releasable. The kit is essential because of the weight and size of the Letus35 B4 relay lens, Letus35 adapter and lenses. The kit also serves as a platform for mounting your follow focus, matte box and lens support.
“For about 25 years or so shooting corporate industrials, I have been begging for a device like this, mainly because a lot of the situations I have been in, put in rooms that were small with ugly backgrounds. If I had had this, it would have been perfect to throw the backgrounds all out of focus and get them film feel. Finally I have some tools to shoot like a filmmaker,” Jens Bogehegn, DP and Zacuto co-owner
“I talked to Hien, Letus35 owner, over a year ago about the idea of creating a cost effective way to attach his popular Letus35 DOF adapters to 2/3-inch camera. Up until now you really only had one option for shallow Depth of Field and that was the P+S Techniks, which is really out of most people’s price range. I prefer working with an ENG camera because of better audio control, monitor outputs, durability, balance, expanded menu options, better control of the color plus a whole lot more. What’s amazing now is that you can get all of the components you need including four Zeiss ZF prime lenses for $9-$11,000 complete. That’s less than the cost of one HD lens and really affordable,” Steve Weiss, director and Zacuto co-owner.
