Updated 3 February 2022

CinemaTechnic are the cine lens testing experts in the U.S. Founder Jorge Diaz-Amador has over 23 years experience with Richter Cine Collimators, over 16 years experience with Moeller-Wedel collimators, and was the first person in the U.S. trained to operate the Carl Zeiss K8 and K9 MTF Testers.

In the motion picture industry, lens testing equipment is used to both check the image quality of lenses and precisely calibrate focus accuracy of lens on a routine basis.

CinemaTechnic now develops upgrades for both the Richter Cine and Moeller-Wedel collimator systems, such as HD Video Out and Digital Focal Plane Micrometer and provides reconditioning and calibration for the Richter and Moeller-Wedel systems.

We are continuously innovating ideas for lens testing equipment, based on over two decades of practical daily lens service experience, as well as having worked with the best lens testing equipment in the world for several years.

Jorge is currently working on the CinemaTechnic Collimator Book expected to be published in 2022. He also conducts training seminars on the use of autocollimators and lens test projectors, as well as cine lens service training.
