Module 8 tuners: how to ACTUALLY use it
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 เม.ย. 2024
- The Module 8 tuners are now available in Fujifilm X-Mount and PL for the taking lens! For those who don’t know, the tuners are variable de-tuners adapters to replicate popular lenses used in the cinema world. The L1 creates a look like the super baltars, the L2 canon k35s and the L3 has some anamorphic characteristics. The party trick with these adapters is that they are variable. I'll explain why the tuners are import for filmmaker today!

which look do you like best?
That L1 Tuner is something magical.
@@ancientburner seriously. I actually want L1
L2 felt nice
awesome video! cheers for the update, just a question: i read that these tuners allow autofocus to pass through, with that in mind does it make sense to use a (canon/sigma ef lens with autofocus that works with sony cameras --> tuner L1/2/3 --> sony camera?)
hope someone has an answer for this!
@@darrenchoy It has aperture and IS passthrough. Autofocus has a passthrough but it can hunt, manual focus is better or get one of those new lidar off camera AF systems.
This video shows the tuners better than all of module 8’s videos. I think you’re the first person to actually notice that the L3 shifts the focus plane 😂
Please share this so people can see too!! Haha
@@CineDailies will do! Also I think there is an opportunity (maybe future video) to compare the L2 tuner to the way that Arri Impression filters de-tune the Signature Primes 👀
@@westwolf117 haha yeah i need a bigger budget for that lol
Some of the best looking footage I’ve seen out of these tuners. Great work brother
Thanks brotha! Great seeing you at NAB
I've had the Vista Primes for 5 years and they never looked like THAT. What a vibe.
Curious to see what you make with the turners
THANK YOU! I've been eyeing these since they dropped but there are so few videos on them out there that really show them in a bunch of situations and use cases, just started the video but I'm already digging the vibe!
Mah dewd! 20 seconds in and I'm smashing like already for that intro and song selection alone. Keep up the great work man.
Ayyyeee appreciate it fam!
such a wonderful demonstration.
this has peeked my interest in a big way!
I'm glad this was help!
This review was 10x better at explaining what these actually do than the original Module 8 release video lol
That’s bc engineers aren’t great at explaining lmao.
Hahaha happy to help!
The locations were fire in these examples
Thank you!!
Your shots are just spectacular! I know it's supposed to be a retro/vintage look, but the way you use the tuners you create a really unique contemporary look.
Thank you sir! 👏🏽
I finally understand these tuners. And now I want one lol. Perfect review/test
Love to hear that!
This video is just beautiful
🙌🏽
Love the vibes here Joshua! Keep doin you! 😎
Thank you! Will do!
@@CineDailies I’m enjoying the tuner too and made a Lunar New Year film awhile back using the L1 - th-cam.com/video/slPvdpHFS3Q/w-d-xo.htmlsi=lvLhXt5aIcleTrP4
Great video Joshua. There's not many video on youtube on the L3 and it's the one I want to get. Module 8 sold me on this one
Thanks for watching!
this is a nice look, I will check this out
Sweet
@@CineDailies I put it on my BMCC6k, thanks for the awesome review
This is a beautifully done video brother. Great Job. Love the L1 and what it's doing. What aspect ratio did you make this video in? seems a bit wider than 4:3
Thanks! And i was in 3:2 open gate on Super 35. If this was full frame, you would have seen more character
Finally a good review on the tuners 😭😭❤
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Another tool for filmmakers 🎉
Yep!
Well done & right on for making this in depth real world use. Just copped the L3 and juiced to squeeze it
Dopeeee mid range fast lenses work best
This is dope. I’m currently in a clean lens phase but this is dope. I’d love a PL to PL.
Pl to pl is coming!
Adds some great flexibility for clean lenses such as the vista primes. Great video.
Exactly
These are genuinly intriguing - I think L@ might be the one I like the most. Hard to say.
Luckily once you buy one mount, you can change out the mount to e mount or rf too
Brother what a great video. Thank you and now imma max my card again at B&H. Once the Stock replenishes. New sub. Great stuff 🔥🔥🔥
Haha awesome
Good work
Thank you so much 😀
This is a fantastic video
Thanks fam!
Excellent review man. Great to see the strength listed in the subtitles too. I wish my work was at the stage where I could justify buying one of these, but for me, for now, it's mist filters.
For sure, thank you for watching - and i hear ya, when the time is right this worth the investment
this was helpful. like your chill vibe.
🙂 thanks for watching! I'm glad it was helpful
Quick question, on the fx3 can I use Sony GM lens w this adaptor?
@@isabeldelrosal1959 as of right now, there isn't a E to E option.
@@CineDailies thanks!
I hate that I don’t really like these. 😭 it’s a really cool concept.
🤷🏽♂️
yeah, even the lightest setting looks too dirty imo. For the price, rather just get a different lens.
@CineDailies Man, I had pretty much written these tuners off until I saw your video today. Now I'm going to reconsider them. Your vid is the bomb diggity! Module 8 should pay you for repping them so well. 😅
What about the color grading process for this video? looking smooth and most beautiful.
Oh thanks! I tried something new. Low light, green and reddish tones.
What are the effective t stops for achieving the looks. Running through the t stops as a comparison would be interesting?
I did in this video. But the effect goes away after t5.6
I don't really do autofocus much but just out of curiosity - would it be possible to have usable continuous autofocus with the Tuner and say... an FX6 with EF Sigma Art lens? Has anyone tested that? Their website says it supports autofocus but usually that doesn't say a lot about good continuous AF in video mode.
Great to see they added L-Mount! If only they'd make the EF-Adapter positive-locking too!
I think that's coming!
Does anyone know if these work on the DZO Catta Ace zooms?
hi, can i ask you what are you using for remotely controling the tuner adapter?
I'm using the dji focus pro! I have a video on how to use it
Is there an option to use on blackmagic 6k pro with EF lens ?
I’d buy for sure if there is a ef option
Nope, that's the disadvantage of the native ef flange distance compared to modern mirrorless mounts.
yo, does the Nisi Athena lenses works with the Active PL Mount from Kinefinity? I saw that u use the Nisi PL Adapter.
Unfortunately it doesn't if it's the ND option. The normal active pl works - yes i used the Nisi PL but that's a pass through adapter
cheers for the update, just a question: i read that these tuners allow autofocus to pass through, with that in mind does it make sense to use a (canon/sigma ef lens with autofocus that works with sony cameras --> tuner L1/2/3 --> sony camera?)
hope someone has an answer for this!
Yes because the mounts only work with mirrorless camera bodies.
E/L/X mounts. So a good and fast EF autofocus lens is ideal
The fact that these don’t work with the Nisi Athenas broke my heart 😭😭😭
I knoowwwww
I really like what it opens up creatively, especially adding character to very stopped down lens (f8 or +). For the price, I could see it being worth the money for only one project. I wish I could experiment though, because the combinations are wild and I doubt I would see my precise setup (FX3 + EF lenses) tested on TH-cam!
Just read your comment that it goes away from f5.6. That's too bad!
Yeah its best performance is wide open
Interesting look and concept! Looks a bit too 'ghosty' too me though. A bit like the Canon 50mm f1,8 wide open from what I remember.
Fair enough!
anyone using these for stills? kinda curious
Great video dude. I love the idea of these tuners but personally falls flat for me. There are two things that do it for me. They shouldn’t have been named for the “look” they create because I do not think the L2 looks anywhere near K35’s, k35’s do not have the soap bubble look from any tests I’ve seen or done with my FD’s. The Baltar one is a little closer but still not there. The “look” the adapters claim seems to only affect the out of focus areas mostly and honestly just seems to add astigmatism for the most part. It does nothing to the flaring (obviously cause it’s the same taking lens) or any other characteristics of the lenses they say they look like. Also the price is a bit insane for an adapter with some glass in it. 1/3 to 1/2 what is being asked seems more reasonable for this product based on what I’ve seen. Would love to hear others thoughts.
Oh wow just seeing this comment. Thanks for watching the video bro!
And I hear ya. But take it like this, it will always be an impossible task to create the exact look of said lens with an adapter. So its up to you to see where are the benefits of said adapter lies. The cool aspect is you have the opportunity to mix and match different lenses to achieve a new optical look.
Sure you might get annoyed by the marketing phrases used to sell the units but the speciality what can be delivered is like nothing else right now. Especially for the price.
Is this available for fujifilm cameras and lenses ? 😂😅
Fujifilm bodies not lenses. PL or EF for lenses
I really like the look of the Tokina but that thing is a big honker the tuners, which is why i clicked on the video....aren't as great as I thought they would be but i'm so glad you made this video.
I mean, what did you expect?
@@CineDailies I was looking to buy the l2 I like the way it curves the edges but the glow effect is not my taste and degrades the image in a nasty way
If I understand correctly, we can't use it with every lens, so I was waiting for using the L1 with Blazar Remus EF lens.. thank you CineDailies, you make me saved 1300usd
Lol yeah you can use the EF lenses with the EF option. You just need a fuji, sony, leica or RF mount.
@@CineDailies yes, I have a L mount camera. But you said not every lens can be used, so it's only for the PL mount ? (I don't get everything, I am not english speaker, you got fan from everywhere around the world dude!) Thanks you !
@@Ar7araxiA gotcha. I was referring to the PL lenses. Head over to the website on moments site. You can see the lens mounting options there
@@CineDailies 🫡
Thank you !
The Athena’s seem like they’d be perfect for these considering they’re so clean. It sucks that they don’t work with them 😭
I knowwww 😭
Me sadly window shopping with my EF mount 😢😅😂
Time to upgrade lol jk
Its a shame they dont work with the Nisi's man. I like the look of that L2 so much that I might even consider different lenses
Stay tuned
they call it "tuners", but many cheap and low quality vintage lenses have that exact same look. i think it's a nice option that can fit into some projects, but the price is way too high for such a device, when a 5$ lens can do the same.
You've missed the point. That's okay.
show me a 5$ lens with the exact same look. I'll buy it right now 😂 although I agree it's a little overpriced
@@CREO.. right 😂
@@CREO.. 5$ was a figure of speech. These tuners basically add longitudinal chromatic aberrations, soften the image, add coma, astigmatism and on top of that, if you focus on a subject closer to the camera in the centre of the frame, you will notice that, despite the shallow DOF separating the subject, the corners will be in focus. Those are all characteristics of very cheap Chinese lenses and the very worst of the vintage lenses. If you like that look it's fine, I'm just saying there's very cheap lenses that replicate this look.
@@CineDailies I think you need to buy yourself some random cheap and "bad" lenses, include some of the cheapest chinese C-mount lenses you can find, like those Fujian 35mm 1.7. You'll see what i mean.
Such a McDreamy like Patrick Dempsey hahaha
Hahahhaa
@@CineDailies so next you gonna find McSteamy Lens. Like Dr.Mark Sloan
Would be cool if they sold lesser priced versions that didnt have the electronics inside for those of us that use manual lenses.
Wouldn't matter if they did or not. You can still use manual lenses. EF and PL lenses.
😈😈😈
💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
the blazar chromatic aberration is crazy compared to the tokina. 8min 40
THIS IS A GREAT VIDEO mate !!!!
L3 in open gate is secretly my favorite, its got this weird larger-than-life feeling.
Yeah it's pretty strong - the L3 has some ghosting wide open but at t2.1 and up it shapes up nicely
aaah they look so cool but the price... idk that means you could get easily an vintage lens set too... it is super convenient to have the tuners but as a broke person like myself ... idk man ... i rather go with old lenses or lenses with character in general
Cool
Markus Pix just released a video about TH-camrs and their game changers hyperbole.
Cool
call me a hater, but as somebody who loves a gritty / dehanced look I don't think these look all that great. kinda just getting soft but not in a good way vibes - less "character" and more just a layer of grease between the lens and the sensor. definitely certain use cases where this could be cool, but tbh nothing you can't do with a UV filter and then messing around with patterns of vaseline around the edges to recreate the swirliness, bloom and edge falloff whilst preserving a bit of centre sharpness so you lead the eye in.
unfortunately for 1299 its a big no from me!
Cool
@@CineDailies sponsored? 🧐
Surely just rehouse a Helios or flectogon etc.. you get the look straight from those lenses. Without buying a semi expensive modern cinema lens and the tuner also and adding complexity and weight. And more cost undoubtedly.
The only thing which is cool... It it's tuneable.. i.e. you can change the look. But if you like the look of a Helios 44-2 or a Carl Zeiss flectogon DDR 35 f2.4.. then you don't need to tune anything.. just my 2 cents.
Sure
@@CineDailies You can get old re-housed helios (russian) lenses but they start at $3000.00. You can probably get some used EF cine lenses or new DZO primes and pair it with an EF tuner for less.
@@Superbustr oh for sure i about about alot of different combinations but to same its the same its not true. Like this guy is saying above lol
Better off renting a character lens than going for the faux character…
Cool - I wish I had a lens budget of $30K to spend.
i dont like it.
🙇🏽
I don't like it
🙌🏽
