Expander
Increase the focal length of your camera lens
PLx1.6VV Expander
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

S35xFF Expander
The S35xFF Expander scales the super 35 image up to 43.4 mm, covering full-frame format (ø 43.5 mm) and the entire RED Dragon 8K format. Special attention was taken while designing the extender to ensure minimum light fall off and maximum image performance up to the edge of the larger sensors. The focal length is extended by a factor of 1.6x and light loss is about one T-stop.
The S35xFF Expander can be used on lenses with a maximum aperture of T2.0 and provides the best performance at T2.8 for optimal resolution and sharpness.
