Designed to help bring classic optics into the future, this new solution aims to blend the emotional appeal of manual lenses with the convenience of modern control. This basically means that agile autofocus is on the way to help capture the soul of your classic optics, but with better performance and features.
We all know that every cinema lens carries a unique signature that enchants audiences, but many still hesitate to use different lenses simply due to the complexity of manual operation.

With new lens adapter mounts, Tilta shares that the Nucleus-M II motors will be able to receive autofocus information directly from the camera sensor. This is great news as this new integration should be able to bring new performances and features (and life, for that matter) into every manual lens.
