Optical Tools
To get even more out of your cine lenses
Expander
Modern cameras require high quality optics designed and optimized for electronic sensors.
PL Expanders expand/enlarge the image circle/size and the focal length of PL or LPL mount lenses. They feature high-index, lowdispersion glass and flare optimized systems to ensure the highest possible resolution and contrast with minimal optical degradation.
Each adapter comes with a Fit Test Tool for checking the input lens contour.
Available as
PLx1.3VV–E
PLx1.4VV
PLx1.6VV
PLx2VV
LPLx2VV
Extender
Modern cameras require high quality optics designed and optimized
for electronic sensors.
PL Extenders increase the focal length of 35 mm PL mount lenses. Our extenders feature high-index, lowdispersion glass and flare optimized systems to ensure the highest
possible resolution and contrast with minimal optical degradation.
The highly telecentric optical design avoids all micro lens issues.
Each adapter comes with a Fit Test Tool for checking the input lens contour.
Available as
PLx1.4 MarkII
PLx2
Converter
Our professional optical converters are engineered to perform perfectly with the latest digital cameras and provide a seamless mechanical fit while correcting spectral alignments for three-chip prism block sensors.
They are highly telecentric in design and deliver bright, sharp images across the entire frame while maintaining excellent color and contrast.
Our Universal Mount System (UMS) makes it possible to use our converters with multiple mounting systems, considerably increasing their utility in the field.
Available as
HDx1.4
HDx2 MarkII
HDx35 MarkIII
HDx6K
Diopter
Working with round diopters and donuts is a time-consuming process. Our Rectangular Diopters slide quickly into any standard 4” x 5.65” matte box (Arri, Chrosziel, etc.) from the top or the side and make life on the set just a little bit easier.
Created by using the highest quality glass, these extremely thin diopters are currently available in magnification factors of
+0.5, +0.8, +2.0.
Fit Test Tools
Each Expander/Converter/Extender is delivered with it's own Fit Test Tool for checking if there is enough space between your lens and our optical tool.
It is designed specifically for each product, manufactured in soft plastic and can be easily assembled right on the PL mount as it has the same mechanical fit.
Packaging
Each Expander/Converter/Extender is delivered in a special case designed for the specific part.
Included is our Fit Test Tool for checking if there is enough space between your lens and our optical tool.
Also included is a short flyer with the mst important details and interference contours and measurements for example.
