zlfan Posted June 21 Author Share Posted June 21 why do you want to put on a lens adapter to make a lens softer on a very sharp camera? instead, you can put a sharp lens on a high quality 1080p cinema camera? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially since I´ve saw a couple of demos not only by him but by other YT-Creators, and the results were questionable at best. Sure, the premise sounds great, but the results were soft, bloomy and weakened the quality of the footage so much, that most of it would be unusable for the stuff I make. I do like my vintage lenses and they have character, but some of these adapters weaken the imagequality to an extend, that even vintage lenses don´t do. this as well as the price is a strange item to push towards the audience, He is usually on the more rational side, when it comes to endorsements with certain companies and their items/devices. zlfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eatstoomuchjam Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 I've considered getting some of the module8 tuners before, but I think that they're very much in the category of rent before considering buying. It's pretty hard to judge them from whatever footage people put online. There are just too many combinations of lens + tuner settings. Most of the stuff I've seen online looked a little bit like hot garbage to me, but maybe I just don't like their combinations of lens + settings. They're only so interesting anyway. zlfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People do it all the time in the cinema world. Greg Fraser is always detuning stuff and trying to give character to the clean sensor by tweaking optics. It’s not about making the image softer, most of the time the centers are really sharp but falloff and oof areas are tweaked. Just depends on the project and story of course.
