What the Converter Can Do for You

Shooting on video was long time said to be aesthetically restricted and to produce a rather flat image compared to a 35mm film image. The PRO35 Image Converter makes 35mm motion picture lenses available for videographers and digital filmmakers. Now shifting focus between details and by doing this taking the viewer through an image became a full range feature for video images.

With this convergent device, a 1/2” video camera can capture the same depth-of-field, focal length and angle-of-view as 35mm film. No longer restricted by a limited number of video lens options, a video camera operator can now get creative with hundreds of lens choices up to now the exclusive realm of 35mm filmmakers.

Cinematographers:
When a conservative production budget precludes shooting in 35 mm, you get impressive film-quality images with a video camera, a P+S Technik Image Converter and your favourite 35 mm film lenses.
For productions shot in 35 mm film, shoot pre-production trial footage with the MINI35 Image Converter and get a true 35 mm image without having to use an expensive film camera. Get immediate results on a monitor without the postproduction costs associated with film.

Video Filmmakers:
For the first time you can enhance your creativity by controlling depth-of-field with your digital video camera. Reproduce the three-dimensional quality of 35 mm film on a digital video storage and produce better images for TV spots, documentaries, features, Internet applications and presentations.
