The Cine Lens

Module 8 is a company founded by Iain Neill and Mike Thomas that has introduced a unique and innovative product called “The Tuner.” The Tuner is a set of three tuners that each has a distinct look and is inspired by vintage lenses. It has been designed to emulate classic lenses, but it allows you to adjust the strength of the look from minimum to maximum. This feature is powered by the patented Vari-look technology, which is a platform that can be built upon to create any look that customers desire.

The industry-wide shortage of skilled lens technicians is no secret. Unfortunately, there aren’t school courses for this particular niche – there are classes for optics, but not lens repair. Some lens manufacturers offer training for their proprietary products, but not all manufacturers will offer their courses to the public. Typically, lens manufacturers work with partners such as Duclos Lenses to refer their in-house technicians for training. So where does one go to learn more about cinema lens service and repair?
