v3 MOE® Lens

DEPTH-ENHANCING v3 MOE® LENSES
NOW AVAILABLE FROM CLAIRMONT

Dramatic depth-enhanced imagery that approaches 3D, but does not require special viewing devices, can be obtained by using patented v3 MOE® lenses with digital parallax scanners now available for rental from Clairmont Camera. The v3 MOE® v3 MOE® Lenslens adds realism, depth and shape to scenes or products, and provides a vivid improvement over conventional 2D film and telecast imagery —effects are especially powerful in scenes shot with a moving camera.

The innovative v3® image technology, which has been perfected over the past 12 years, is based on a moving optical element (MOE) lens that captures different points of view relative to the plane of focus. These slight shifts cause the viewer to interpret depth in such a manner that it enhances the realism of the shot and makes it more life-like.

Technically, the iris of the v3 MOE® lens rotates in a simple circle, with the amplitude (distance off center) and frequency (cycles per second) adjustable by the camera operator. The normal frequency is 4.3 cycles-per-second, which can be changed in relation to the capture speed of the camera. Changes in amplitude provide a different “look” and open up a range of creative options that cannot be achieved with normal fixed-iris lenses; one is the ability to create multiple depth layers in a scene by displacing objects from one another. T-stop and focus are also set with the remote controller.

Clairmont Camera offers a 5-lens package that includes the controller, cabling, and 24mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85 mm and 135mm lenses. The v3 MOE® lenses are equipped with PL mounts, and can be used with a wide range of film and digital cameras.
