The MOVIEtube is the most modern professional 35MM
lens adapter for 1/3” chip camcorders. Featuring a newly developed
micro-crystalline FILMscreen that is much sharper than the conventional
ground glass model, the MOVIEtube does not need any
motors for spinning or oscillating the focal screen. No grain is apparent
resulting in a much simpler configuration which is much easier to
operate and maintain in the field.
It can be used with PL mount prime lenses and or adapters to fit a
variety of popular 35mm still lenses. The MOVIEtube
uses a full S-35mm film aperture allowing complete lens coverage with
a reduced depth of field so essential to good cinematography. The
dense arrangement of microscopic particles used in the FILMscreen
scatters light much like film emulsion does minimizing video artifacts
such as moirés and aliasing and reduces the judder from panning
at 24P. The process also warms the image countering the somewhat cold
look of CCDs.
SoHo Films is the exclusive North American
importer of the MOVIEtube. For end user sales and
rental information, the licensed distributor in the US is Abel Cinetech
