The DZOFilm Marlin 1.6x PL to E-Mount expander combines a PL lens interface, 1.6x optical image-circle expansion, and a E-Mount camera-side mount. Available from Filmgear Canada for Canadian cinema, commercial, documentary, rental, education, and owner-operator productions.

Product Overview

Marlin 1.6x is an optical expander rather than an empty mechanical ring. It enlarges the image circle of a compatible Super 35 PL lens for use on a larger-format E-Mount camera, while multiplying the effective focal length by 1.6 and reducing transmission by approximately one stop. The exact usable sensor area still depends on the original lens image circle and rear-element clearance. Heavy cinema lenses require proper support so the camera mount and expander do not carry the full load.

Key Features

PL Lens to E-Mount Camera

This exact version accepts an ARRI PL lens and connects to a E-Mount camera mount.

1.6x Optical Image-Circle Expansion

The internal optics enlarge the projected image circle and also multiply the effective focal length by 1.6.

Approximately One-Stop Transmission Loss

DZOFILM identifies an expected light loss of about one stop for the 1.6x optical expander path.

How It Compares

Choose this E-Mount version only for that camera mount. A passive Octopus adapter preserves focal length and transmission but cannot enlarge a Super 35 lens image circle for a larger sensor.

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 Marlin version is for cinematographers, rental houses, and owner-operators adapting supported Super 35 PL lenses to a larger-format E-Mount camera.

Who Should Choose Something Else?

Choose a passive adapter when the lens already covers the camera sensor and preserving focal length and light is more important, or choose another Marlin mount for a different camera body.
