These adapters use optics to make modern lenses look vintage.

Moment and new company Module 8 are announcing a line of soft-focus lens adapters called The Tuner. The line adapts EF lenses to Canon and Sony mirrorless, with an internal optic that dials in aberrations for vintage looks like classic (and ultra-expensive) cine lenses — all while maintaining autofocus.

Niche? Certainly. Kinda cool, though? Definitely. The adapters are launching on Kickstarter today for $1,999 each, with late-August estimated shipping.

The L1 (left) is designed to give a look like the Bausch and Lamb Super Baltar lens of the 1960s. The L2 (middle) mimics Canon K-35 lenses. And the L3 (right) has an anamorphic look.
