The Cinema DFM is an incredibly small, behind-the-lens filter system that is designed to deliver incredible color neutrality and speed.
With DSMC2®, DSMC1®, KOMODO® and RAPTOR® compatibility, the same filters are interchangeable between different cameras.
The core elements such as the front and rear flanges are machined from titanium, and the main body is machined from aluminum. The result is an ultralight, ultra-compact filter system, Made in USA.

The smallest and lightest, professional filter system.

The Cinema DFM is not RED Approved
Yes, it's 100% compatible. Simply select DSMC2 S35 from the dropdown for DSMC1.
No, the optical path requires the presence of an optical clear, which is why all our Cinema DFMs include a clear filter for free.
Yes, the 6 o'clock locking tab allows you to remove the locking ring, at which point you can install or subtract shims.
Once the filter is securely locked it’s pressurized against a weather-seal inside the Cinema DFM. The locking mechanism, although it may have an opening for dust and elements, is itself a weather-sealed chamber separate from the sensor chamber.
The Cinema DFM filter system assumes your PL lens is collimated to PL specification, which is 52mm. If your lens has not been collimated sharpness is not guaranteed, even if the lens is factory new.
We can perform a Sensor Calibration to adjust the sensor back to it’s factory default position. After we perform a Sensor Calibration we will include a “Certificate of Sensor Calibration”.
Although we only charge $99 for Sensor Calibrations, we require that you ship your DSMC2 to/from insured.
Yes.
Yes. Simply select DSMC2 S35 or DSMC2 VV from the dropdown for RANGER.
No, as we have not submitted the Cinema DFM to RED to be RED APPROVED.
However, RED has always been incredibly responsive and professional (much more than other camera companies), so it could be a future possibility.
We will be announcing new products at CineGear and NAB, so it's a possibility.
