This is crucial for using high-quality cinema lenses. It works perfectly with RED Komodo and RED V-Raptor cameras, as well as select Canon RF-mount cameras. This means you can use a wide range of PL-mount cinematic glass.
Furthermore, the Revolva 2 is more than just a lens adapter. It has an integrated filter system. This system uses quick-change filter cartridges. You can easily swap between different filters.
