Jun 4, 2023 by Adam Frimer Leave a Comment

Designing a landmark cine lens is hard. Today we are honored to interview Iain Neil, and Michael Thomas. Ian is the optical designer behind some of the most iconic lens series, including the Panavision Primo series, the Leica Summilux-C series, and several Cooke spherical and anamorphic series of lenses. Michael is the pushing force behind module 8.

You’ve seen the results of his work in countless movies, including Die Hard, Titanic, Dances with Wolves, Red October, Speed, Flatliners, Minority Report, and many, many more. Iain recently received a Gordon E. Sawyer Oscar for his innovative lens designs, so it’s not a surprise it was an inspiring interview.

If you are out for a specific look for your movies, you know that it will take some effort. Lenses like the Canon FD, Super Baltars, and Canon K-35 are not easy to come by, and they are not cheap either. A new Kickstarter from Tuner by Module wants to solve this problem by providing a back filter that gives any lens a cinematic look. We have some of the first independent footage taken with a prototype of The Tuner, so make sure to watch the video.

But first, let’s explain what the issue is:
