Expander

PLx1.3VV‒E
The PLx1.3VV-E optical expander increases the focal length and the projected image diameter of the lens by a factor of 1.3x. Then, it allows the use of the lens on large sensor cameras up to 47 mm. The electronic metadata pass-through has been introduced to bring the lens information to the recorded takes.
- Electronic pass-through for lens metadata - 47mm image diameter (VistaVision) - High-index, low-dispersion glass - Robust Mechanical Design - Extended Color Correction(APO) - Small & lightweight

It is not compatible with mirror cameras, nor the UMS system.

PLx1.4 65‒E
The PLx1.4 65 Format - E expander is designed to allow the use of most of the FF and VV lenses on the new 65mm digital cameras. The projected image diameter and the focal length of the lens is increased by a factor of 1.4.
The electronic metadata pass-through has been introduced to bring the lens information to the recorded takes.
- 60mm image diameter (65mm format) - Electronic pass-through for lens metadata - High-index, low-dispersion glass - Low light-loss - Robust MechanicalDesign - Extended Color Correction(APO) - Small & lightweight

It is not compatible with mirror cameras, nor the UMS system.
Details
The PLx1.4 65 Format - E is characterized by a robust and durable mechanical design with stainless steel PL mounts and anodized aluminum.
Inside it carries high-index low-dispersion glass and aspheric lenses to ensure the highest possible resolution and contrast with minimal optical degradation, while the flare minimized surfaces keep the original lens character.

PLx2VV
The PLx2 VV optical expander doubles the focal length of Vista Vision Format PL mount lenses. The extender is the larger version of our well-received PLx2 Adapter. Thanks to its compact optical and mechanical design, the PLx2 VV is compatible with a wide range of lenses.
The PLx2 VV features high-index, low-dispersion glass to ensure the highest possible resolution and contrast with minimal optical degradation. In doubling the image size, the transmitted light is spread over four times the area, decreasing the brightness by two f-stops. The optical design has been optimized for modern lenses and digital cameras and the maximum input T-stop is 1.9.
The PLx2 VV is designed to mount to any digital cinema camera with a native PL mount. The UMS Mount System makes it easy to change the mount to Canon EF, Sony E or others without re-shimming.
