Michael Simmonds ASC uses the Module 8 L2 Pro on the Amazon Prime production Scarpetta Episodes 1 and 2.

The L2 Pro is our PL-to-PL variable tuner — a full optical element that sits in the lens path and changes the way a lens performs, rather than intercepting it from the front. Michael put it simply:

"Sometimes you don't just want to intercept a lens with another piece of glass, you want to actually change the way the lens performs."

DP Judd Overton uses Module 8 L1 Tuner for Peacock's LAID.

Judd Overton used the Module 8 L1 on the Netflix series Laid to solve a specific creative problem in Episode 7 — capturing the subjective, distorted point of view of an unreliable narrator. In his own words:

We went back to the drawing board, reviewing all the lens distortion tests from pre-production and adding some more. I think we tested every Funky Wide lens in Canada and they were all just too much — it felt more like a drug haze or prism effect, and we needed to keep the audience connected.

In the end we loved the effect of the Module 8 detuner which distorted the bokeh of the background highlights while managing to keep Brad sharp in the close foreground. We added it to our widest Prime lens and mounted it to the Steadicam. The whole sequence was captured by leading or following super close to Brad on the distorted wide lens. A-camera operator Andy Capicik would often not know exactly where Brad was going or how he would get there as he spun around and around mimicking a drunken stagger."

You can find many reviews and testimonials of the Module 8 Tuner and the innovative looks that it enables.
