Its aluminum-alloy body and SUS 304 stainless-steel mount are machined to 0.01 mm precision, while factory-calibrated flange distance is designed to maintain infinity focus without user adjustment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDZOFILM redesigned the internal structure with 7.12% more rear-element clearance and rates the adapter for S35, full-frame, and medium-format camera systems. The PL-E version weighs about 190 g without its base and about 205 g with the base, making it practical for handheld, gimbal, and compact cinema-camera builds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a fully mechanical adapter. It does not pass electronic lens data, autofocus, iris control, or power between the lens and camera.

Choose Adapter II when weight and rear-element room matter for handheld or gimbal work; keep the original version only when matching an existing first-generation rig or spare-parts workflow is more important than the updated design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Accessories and Related Gear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePair the PL-E adapter with an ARRI PL cinema lens and use the detachable support foot when the lens or rig benefits from a second point of support.
