I admit, i'm not a film school kid, and really just started getting into video with DSLR's. I have only seen others using Letus equipment mainly for Depth Of Field adapters for their video gear. Now with DSLR's you would think Letus is losing alot of sales. Turns out, they are still on top of the game by providing a new line of DSLR solutions. Prices obviously are still a bit high for me, but it is Letus after all.
One of the most sexiest pieces of equipment i've seen for DSLR's in a long time, Letus has a new Carbon Fiber view Finder. Love the article write up about the design process behind it. I have a feeling after this post, Zacuto is going to lose some steam on their line of Z-Finders. I mean c'mon, Carbon Fiber?? Who wouldn't want that? Available for a special pre-order price right now. Check out some of the new stuff they're coming out with at LetusDSLR.com

How will this work with battery grips?? Is there an additional frame you will need like with the zacuto ones?

Great news! This looks like the VF I want to get!
Also, thanks for spending time to make this site -- it's invaluable for those who are interested in budget solutions for HDSLR filming.
Keep up the good work, bro!
