Product Details

Product Overview

The Octopus Adapter II PL-RF connects an ARRI PL lens to a Canon RF-mount camera body. Its aluminum-alloy body and SUS 304 stainless-steel mount are machined to 0.01 mm precision, while factory-calibrated flange distance is designed to maintain infinity focus without user adjustment.

DZOFILM redesigned the internal structure with 7.12% more rear-element clearance and rates the adapter for S35, full-frame, and medium-format camera systems. The PL-RF version weighs about 186 g without its base and about 200 g with the base, making it practical for handheld, gimbal, and compact cinema-camera builds.

This is a fully mechanical adapter. It does not pass electronic lens data, autofocus, iris control, or power between the lens and camera. The detachable support foot provides 1/4-inch-20 threads for tying heavier cinema-lens setups
