Description
The Simmod PL to L-Mount Adapter fits PL cinema lenses to L-Mount cameras from Leica, Panasonic and Sigma. It suits productions that want to use cine glass on a compact body. In addition, it needs no optics, so your lens keeps its original character.
Secure lens mounting
This Cine Pro adapter uses a PL lock ring with large tabs and a dampened locking action. An Arca-type foot with a 1/4″-20 hole adds support, which helps with heavier cinema lenses. Felt inside the mount also reduces internal reflections.
Setting back focus
The adapter shims from the rear, so adjustments only need simple tools. Two brass shims come with it, and 0.3, 0.5 and 1.0 mm sizes exist for finer changes. Check focus marks with your lens and camera during prep, because flange distance can vary between bodies.
Manual operation
Treat this as a fully mechanical adapter, without lens data or autofocus. Focus and iris therefore stay manual, so a follow focus is a useful addition. A locking dust cover also comes with the adapter, as the original camera body cap won’t fit.
