Film Adapter
Redrock Microsystems introduces the M2 – enabling you to achieve cinema-quality video at a revolutionary price. M2 allows 35mm lenses to be used with your DV or HD camera to create incredible depth-of-field, angle of view, and focus typically found in high-end film productions. The M2 works even with DV or HD cameras that have fixed lenses, such as the Panasonic AG-DVX100, HVX200, and the Sony HVR-Z1U.

M2 uses the same core technology as products cost ten times as much. This approach - known as the rotating ground glass method – is completely transparent when translating the image from the 35mm lens to your DV camera. The M2’s revolutionary price point comes from our own product design philosophy that 100% of the critical features can be achieved for a fraction of the price – without the extra fluff features that drive prices up.
At the heart of the M2 is our patent-pending Cinescreen (tm) technology, a specially formulated, proprietary image element that delivers the unique M2 film-look. The Cinescreen comes standard in all M2 adapters.
Other approaches use a static or vibrating motion of the ground glass. While this approach has some merit, the image quality suffers from “grain” when moving the camera, or grain shows up when stopping the 35mm lens down past f5.6
The Redrock M2 adapter is the only adapter available in the market that enables you to use both large lens apertures for shallow depth of field, and smaller lens apertures to increase your depth of field. This revolutionary level of flexibility allows you to use a consistent 35mm look for all your footage, not just shallow depth-of-field shots.
