The Redrock Micro M2 Encore Cinema Lens Adapter brings the look of cinema to your SD or HD video footage. Attaching to the front of your camcorder, the M2 Encore lets you shoot through any Canon FD 35mm photo lens, giving you the enhanced image quality, shallow depth of field, and varied fields of view that are only possible with interchangeable, higher-end glass.
This standalone adapter can be combined with a multitude of accessories--or purchased in an M2 Encore Bundle--for enhanced operability. Popular accessories include a baseplate, 15mm support rods, microX Encore Flip (to invert the image), and swing-away microMatteBox.
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 M2e is Redrock's patent-pending Cinescreen (tm) technology, a specially formulated proprietary image element that delivers the unique M2e film look.
The Redrock M2e 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.

Collimating Lens Mount
The M2e 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.
Achieves Cinema-Quality Depth of Field
Shallow depth of field can produce stunning images, allowing techniques such as rack focus and follow focus to enhance your production's look.
Supports Interchangeable Lenses
Get the exact angle of view and focus you want: attach a 20mm wide angle lens 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.
Uses a Wide Variety of 35mm Lenses
With mounts available for Canon EOS, Canon FD, Minolta MD, Nikon, Olympus, PL, and Pentax K/S, you can choose the type and brand of lens that works best for you and your budget. Interchangeable mounts let you upgrade your lenses as your project or needs evolve--start with inexpensive Nikon or Canon still lenses, and maybe for the big shoot rent some Cooke or Arri Ultra Primes (just make sure you have the correct mounts).
Works with Today's--and Yesterday's--SD and HD Cameras
The M2e is designed to work with just about every modern SD and HD camera available, from the smallest HV20 to the oldest PD100 to the shiniest EX1R.
Works with the Camera You'll Have Tomorrow
The M2e is designed to be camera-independent, allowing you to preserve your investment in the M2e as you upgrade to other cameras.
Compatible with Popular Accessories
Uses industry-standard 15mm support rods, allowing use with accessories such as matte boxes and follow-focus units.
