Mele - Letus Elite Test

I needed a test subject for a weekend with the Letus adapter so I grabbed my daughter Mele. I love my little girl and try to show her off as much as possible.

I used the Nikon Zeiss 35mm and 50mm lenses, and the adapter was mounted on the Sony EX-1. Most of the footage was with the 50mm, except for when I went outside and threw on the 35mm... unfortunately it got pretty dark, but thanks to the Letus dropping only about a half a stop I was able to shoot pretty well, considering the conditions. I literally cut this in 10 minutes, and touched it up slightly in Color for another 10.

The music is "Get Up" by Barcelona. I didn't really edit to the music, just kind of laid it under to have something there while the footage was showing.

This absolutely amazing - great work. I have one question, completely unrelated. My wife argues that your family (mainly your daughter) is Asian, I say Hispanic. Which is it? I made a bet with her ( no washing dishes for a month) (I hate washing dishes) I'd appreciate an answer, but will completely understand if you feel it is none of our business. Your daughter is gorgeous by the way.

@TheEnigmaticVision Ha, nice man. Well it depends how you look at it I guess. My wife is from Mexico, so she's half Hispanic. I'm Tongan, which is Polynesian... but we are usually grouped with the rest of Pacific islanders which includes the Phillipines and sometimes Japan and Taiwan. So I think your wife is more right... but it could be seen as a tie. Funny stuff man, I love it. And thanks, I think my little girl is the gem of the world... but I'm the extremely biased father.

You have a beautiful family. God bless you brother. I have a question, Did you select the PL mount to go with the letus? when you brought the zeiss lens what diameter tread size did you choose to fit on the letus elite?

@halasima Your reply was very much appreciated. Good luck in all your future projects. You are very talented. My wife and I decided to call it a tie. Thanks again.
