ABOUT US

As an award winning cinematographer, Ron Sim csc is no stranger to the world of cinematography. His passion for perfection and dedication to the craft goes well beyond the bright lights and big sets of commercial productions. Much like cinematography, creating the SIMMOD System ™ began as a hobby while fidgeting in his man-cave in between shoot days. It was also a way for him to stay out of his wife's path while she studies to become a doctor. As an avid collector of vintage lenses, there was no shortage of lenses to choose from when sourcing the right glass to learn on. Through the years, what started as an experiment to convert an old Leica still lens for cinema use became a sustainable passion. To date, Ron has converted vintage lenses for aspiring and veteran DP's the world over.

If you have any questions about the SIMMOD System™ or need consultation about turning your vintage collection into cine lenses, give Ron a call or shoot him a message.

"Don't shoot what it looks like. Shoot what it feels like." -David Alan Harvey
