Superior Underlying Technology
The M2 Encore uses the same core technology as products costing 10 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 video camera. At the heart of the M2 Encore is Redrock's patent-pending Cinescreen (tm) technology, a specially formulated proprietary image element that delivers the unique M2e film look.
The Redrock M2 Encore adapter is the only adapter available that enables you to use both large lens apertures for shallow depth of field and smaller lens apertures for increased 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.

The Value of Interchangeable Lenses
Get the exact angle of view and focus you want: attach a 20mm wide angle for your master shots, switch to a 50mm for your standard scenes, then bump up to an 85mm for that shallow depth-of-field close-up. With the lens adapter's Nikon F mount, an entire range of lenses is at your fingertips. Choose the type and brand that works best for you and your budget.
Collimating Lens Mount
The M2 Encore comes standard with a collimating lens mount that allows you to easily and precisely set your adapter so your lens distance markings and infinity focus are precise. All new M2 Encore adapters are shipped from the factory pre-collimated.
