Expander
PL Expanders expand/enlarge the image circle/size and the focal length of PL or LPL mount lenses
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.

PLx1.6VV
The PLx1.6VV is the follow-up model to the S35xFF and increases the focal length by a factor of 1.66x. It allows the use of S35 lenses on large-format cameras up to 46.5 mm sensor diameter and supports a maximum aperture of T-Stop 2.0. The PLx1.6VV is characterized by a robust and durable mechanical design with stainless steel PL mounts and anodized aluminium as well as decorative surface outside and flair minimized surfaces inside.
Please Note:
The PLx1.6VV is incompatible with mirror cameras but can be used with most S35 PL lenses.
Details
The first wave of large format cameras is on the market and includes: the ARRI ALEXA LF, ARRI ALEXA 65, RED MONSTRO 8K VV, PANAVISION Millennium DXL2, SONY VENICE, CANON C700 and others. Larger sensors deliver a film-style look and interesting bokeh due to their very shallow depth of field. These new cameras require lenses that can cover larger sensor sizes or an expander that allows cinematographers to use their favorite S35 lenses.
Can be used with many PL mount S35 optics

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.
