TheModule 8 L1 Tuner is an innovative new lens that transforms your modern digital cameras into a nostalgic dream machine. It unlocks the cinematic magic of vintage films with a simple twist on lens adapter, available in three distinct looks. The L1 look is inspired by The Baltars. It gives you all of the glamour and glowing halation seen in a classic Super Baltar lens. It can evoke emotion by creating the nostalgic warmth, romance, and gritty realism of classic films, like the Godfather. When you max out this look, we like to call it the Wicked Baltars.

The EF Tuners are compatiblewith Sony E Mount and RF Mounts on Canon and RED cameras.

One Tuner is like getting hundreds of thousands of dollars in iconic vintage lenses and saves thousands of dollars in tuning lenses
Module 8 has created three unique looks, emulating some of the most iconic cinema lenses ever made.Inspired by Super Baltar lenses, L1 can evoke emotion by creating the nostalgicwarmth, romance and gritty realism of classic films like The Godfather. At T/2.3, theL1 Tuner gives the character of a vintage Super Baltar but can produce an intense,dreamlike look when the aperture of the lens is increased to T/1.4. The variablehalation of L1 is created by manipulating spherical aberration of the image and ismuch more accurate than the uniform scattering effect induced by a diffusion filter.The ability to create very strong looks is convenient when delivering to a smallerscreen size and still want a pronounced vintage look.
