Module 8 L3 Tuner - Retroscope Variable Look - PL Lens to E Mount (1003-03)

The Module 8 L3 Tuner is an innovative new lens that transforms modern digital cameras into a nostalgic dream machine. With a simple twist of the lens adapter, available in three different looks, it allows access to the cinematic magic of yesteryear. The L3 Tuner represents the signature style of Iain A. Neil, co-founder of Module 8, and is the result of his decades of experience in designing some of the most distinctive cinematic lenses, especially anamorphic lenses. L3 gives your shots the distinctive astigmatic characteristics of classic anamorphic lenses, even when using spherical optics. By simulating the depth of field effects in the vertical/horizontal direction that occur with older anamorphic lenses (without flares or bokeh), the L3 offers a uniquely complex effect. Unlike most lens adjustments that focus on halation and glow or simple field curvature, the L3 adds a special character to the shot in the side view.

• Iain Neil Original, inspired by classic anamorphic lenses - we call it Retro-Cope!
• A unique off-axis effect. The centre remains in focus while the tuner adds plenty of astigmatism to the edge of the image.
• Perfect for shooting with spherical lenses and cropping to 2.4:1.
• Creates a unique elliptical, swirling bokeh.
• Off-axis aberration cannot be focussed out, just like with old anamorphic lenses.
• Ideal for full frame, but S35 sensors still have a unique foreground effect.
• The EF Tuner supports autofocus, focus and aperture control via the camera.
• The PL version allows the use of professional and affordable PL lenses from Zeiss, Leitz, Tokina, Sigma and DZO.
• No underlay or complex setup. Just crank it up and start shooting vintage looks.
• Maintains 4K centre resolution while softening contrast.
• Made entirely of aluminium with integrated gear wheel to adjust the look.
• Affordable alternative to expensive "tuned lenses" or specially tuned lenses.
• Real-time visual feedback with our patent-pending Variable Tuning Technology.
