Module 8 L3 Tuner Variable Look Lens Attachment (EF-Mount Lens to RF-Mount Camera)

OVERVIEW

The Module 8 L3 Tuner - Retroscope Variable Look Lens (RF Mount) is Module 8's own Iain A. Neill signature look, and is the culmination of decades of experience designing cinematic lenses. The L3 gives you the characteristics of a classic anamorphic lenses, even though you are using spherical optics. The L3 will simulate the vertical / horizontal depth of field effects seen on the vintage anamorphics, without the flares or bokeh.

Tuner Basics

The Tuner provides standard EF-mount lenses and mirrorless digital cameras to emulate the look of vintage glass, so you don't have to track down a classic cinema lens. It makes your lens capture the look of a classic lens and provides manual control over the strength of the look without refocusing, reshimming, or changing the lens.

VariTune Technology

The Tuner features Module 8 VariTune technology, which allows you to avoid actual detuning of your lens. Detuning takes a long time to experiment with different looks, only supports high-end PL mount lenses, and doesn't support autofocus lenses. When using the Tuner with your own lens, VariTune technology allows you to set up the look you want in minutes, supports EF and PL mounts, allows you to tune an unlimited number of looks, and supports autofocus.

Design

The Tuner adapter is constructed with optical glass and an aluminum casing for durability. It features a standard 0.8 MOD cine gear, a 70° adjustment dial range, and a 1/4"-20 support bracket thread. You can also update the Tuner's firmware using the integrated USB port.

L3 Tuner

Inspired by lenses designed by lens designer Iain Neil, the L3 Tuner creates a unique depth of field with characteristics of a classic anamorphic lens, even when using your own spherical lens. It features a retroscope look with strong astigmatism at the edges and works over a wide aperture range. The VariTune technology allows you to maintain focus while adjusting the look strength.
