Module 8 Tuners. Thoughts?

Recommended Posts

I'd love to hear some thoughts about the Module 8 Tuner adapters.  For me, I don't quite understand the appeal. I don't know if there have been enough examples using them to know whether it can improve the image or not.  I'm also curious if anyone who has used the vintage lenses they are supposed to emulate would be able to say if they are accurate emulations.

Seems extremely use-case for me. I would think you could achieve a similar look with various diffusion filters if you wanted that softer look. from what they show on their own youtube videos, the effect looks super intense even at "subtle". I don't think film looks need to be that soft/diffused and people have a weird thought that film is this super soft low contrast look when it's really not. Certainly not as sharp as digital, but nowhere near as soft as those tuners look to be. 

That said they might have a use for dream sequences or something more stylized, but I wouldn't see a use in buying them. 

Also, hey, fancy seeing you here!
