Module 8 L1 Tuner Baltar – EF Lens to Canon RF Module8
Kód: A1001-02XPodrobný popis
The Module 8 L1 Tuner is an optical adapter that mounts a Canon EF lens on a Canon RF mirrorless camera and gives the image the cinematic look of Super Baltar lenses with glowing halation and softer contrast. The Vari-Tune ring dials in the strength of the effect during the shot without losing focus. Autofocus, aperture and image stabilisation of Canon, Sigma and Tamron lenses keep working.
The Super Baltar look for EF lenses
An optical adapter for Canon EF lenses on Canon RF bodies with a continuously tunable vintage look.
Lens character tuned on the fly
The Vari-Tune ring changes the amount of effect continuously and in real time without losing focus – no swapping filters, no detuning lenses.
13 Academy Awards
The Tuner was designed by Iain Neil, winner of thirteen Academy Awards for Scientific and Technical Achievement in lens design.
Halation, not diffusion
The variable halation comes from controlled spherical aberration, making it more accurate than the uniform scatter of a diffusion filter.
EF electronics
Autofocus, aperture control and image stabilisation of Canon, Sigma and Tamron lenses; firmware updates via USB.
1.08× magnification
The Tuner extends the focal length of the lens only slightly and covers full frame.
The L1 look: Super Baltar
L1 is inspired by the Super Baltar lenses from Bausch & Lomb – it adds glamour, glowing halation and reduced contrast, the nostalgic warmth, romance and gritty realism of classic films like The Godfather. At T/2.3 it gives the character of a vintage Super Baltar; with the lens opened up to T/1.4 it produces an intense, dreamlike look. Maxed out, the maker calls it the Wicked Baltar.
Vari-Tune: tuning on the fly
The geared tuning ring with a 0–10 scale and 70° rotation changes the amount of effect continuously and in real time without losing focus. You see the change immediately and fine-tune the look during the shot.
Electronics for EF lenses
The Tuner passes through autofocus, aperture control and image stabilisation of Canon, Sigma and Tamron lenses. Because of the electronics it has a fixed Canon RF mount. It is made for EF lenses on mirrorless cameras only – it does not work with E or RF lenses or with EF-mount bodies.
More information
The Tuner seamlessly integrates into your existing camera rig and lets you adjust the look and character of your images in real time, during the shot. No more hunting down expensive lenses, paying exorbitant lens rehousing fees or investing in detuned prime lenses – the Module 8 Tuners work with your existing glass to create the cinematic looks cherished by top cinematographers.
The Tuners come in two lens mounts, EF and PL. The EF Tuners are made for Sony E and Canon RF bodies (including RED cameras with an RF mount) and have built-in electronics supporting autofocus, aperture control and image stabilisation of Canon, Sigma and Tamron lenses; because of it they cannot change camera mounts. The PL mount Tuner supports a wide range of PL lenses as long as the rear elements do not protrude too far, and since it has no electronics its mount can be swapped for Sony E, Canon RF, L-Mount (Blackmagic, Panasonic, Leica) or Fujifilm X.
The Tuner was created by Iain Neil, legendary cinema lens designer and thirteen-time Academy Award winner for Scientific and Technical Achievement. It adds a unique visual signature to your work – every frame transports your audience to a different era, with the timeless beauty and captivating charm of film.
