The DZOFilm Octopus PL to Leica L adapter is a precision mechanical mount adapter for using compatible ARRI PL cinema lenses on a Leica L camera body. Available from Filmgear Canada for Canadian cinema, commercial, documentary, rental, education, and owner-operator productions.
Product Overview
Octopus maintains the required flange relationship between the PL lens and the shorter Leica L camera mount without adding optical elements. Because it is a passive mechanical adapter, it does not provide autofocus, electronic aperture control, or lens-data conversion. DZOFILM uses an active-lock style, metal construction, and internal light-control treatment to support a secure cinema-lens connection. Lens rear clearance, image circle, camera-cage clearance, and physical support remain separate compatibility checks.
Key Features
PL Lens to Leica L Camera
This exact Octopus configuration adapts compatible ARRI PL lenses to a Leica L camera body.
Passive Optical-Free Path
The adapter contains no focal reducer or expander optics, so it does not intentionally change focal length, image circle, or light transmission.
Precision Mechanical Connection
DZOFILM describes accurate flange control, a secure locking interface, and metal construction for professional manual lens use.
How It Compares
Choose Octopus when the PL lens already covers the camera sensor and no optical expansion is needed. Choose a Marlin expander when a Super 35 lens image circle must be enlarged for a larger-format Leica L camera.
Compatible Accessories and Related Gear
. Check the exact mount, sensor format, lens support, matte box, follow-focus position, and camera clearance before the shoot.
Who Is This For?
This Octopus adapter is for cinema-camera operators, rental kits, film schools, and productions using manual PL glass on a Leica L body.
Who Should Choose Something Else?
Choose another Octopus mount for a different camera system, an electronic adapter when supported lens control is required, or a Marlin expander when the original lens image circle is too small for the sensor.
