*note1
Please note model is only available as a self assembly unit with instruction guide included
**note2
Please note that there are certain Möller 32/2x Anamorphots on the used market which were produced exclusively for telecine use. They can be recognised by the lack of distance information on the focus skirt ring and also the rear optic is recessed into the body by approximately 10mm. These units cannot be focused beyond 4m, but they do seem to have single coated optics. Consequently, these units require additional modification to enable infinity focus.
***note3
Please note model is available either as a self assembly unit with instruction guide included or factory fitted anamorphic optics at additional cost
The vintage look digitally remastered . . .
Rectilux Custom CinemaScope adapters utilise vintage optics from Europe and the Far East and are available either as self-assembly or factory fitted units. Rectilux Custom CinemaScope adapters have neutral optical transfer function, multi-element focussing optics to preserve the character of the base anamorphic and of the spherical taking lens. Coated or uncoated options are available.
Stretch your imagination 2X . . .
Rectilux Custom CinemaScope adapters feature 2X stretch* in the time-honoured movie tradition and provide a faithful rendition of what you see on the big screen, complete with stunning deep blue anamorphic flares**, oval iris reflections and beautiful waterfall/painterly bokeh.

How close can you go? . . .
Rectilux Custom CinemaScope adapters have single follow focus (FF) operation and optional Floating Zone Focus system for improved close focussing. The housing and focussing optics are designed using CAD software and are precision engineered to very close tolerances. I call this process [[REVISIONEERING]].
Quick change lens support system . . .
Rectilux Custom CinemaScope adapters can be supplied with a quick change lens support system for standard 15mm rods. Changing lenses is a simple procedure that can be performed without disturbing the alignment of the adapter. The support for standard 15mm rods offers a safe and sturdy mounting solution.
Floating Zone Focus . . .
The optical optimisation of the focussing system was performed with a Floating Zone Focus system in mind. The design objectives are achieved by variation of axial displacement between individual lens elements or groups which allows the cinematographer to fine tune the focussing system to the shooting environment.
Accessories . . .
Rectilux Custom CinemaScope adapters feature a strengthened front assembly for protection and also support for a follow-focus Mod 0.8 geared ring plus a front filter thread* for ND or split field dioptres.
