Fotodiox Pro Lens Mount Adapter Compatible with Arri PL Lenses to Micro Four Thirds Cameras

Affordable, feels solid and does the job !

I was testing out a set of PL lenses but didn't want to rent an Arri Alexa to do so. I looked into some PL adapters for my GH5S and the brand named ones all cost an arm and a leg. This adapter looked a little sketchy at first, with a reviewer saying it's off alignment, but the one I received worked great. You will definitely need a lens support for the lens, so expect to build a rig to make this workable, since there IS play on the MFT side of the mount. You should do so just to protect your camera from being strained anyway. I used this with the Atlas Orion anamorphic lenses, which you NEED to have mounted in perfect alignment and it worked perfectly!Know that you shouldn't expect native PL strength at this price and you'll be super happy. I won't be using this very often so the price worked out great for me.

It fits perfectly. But I had to remove the blue ring to mount it. Using an eyeglass phillips screwdriver, you remove a tiny screw, unscrew the blue ring from the black base, then place the blue ring around the PL mount first, and then place the black piece, screwing it back into the blue ring. This adapter doesn't work like other ones where you simply screw on, which may be how PL mounts work.

Works fine on my BMPCC4K

Screw mount had bad threads. Sending it back for another one. Fits super tight on the BMPCC MFT lens mount which is good in some sense for stability but it feels like it's a little too tight and could break something. There are 2 tiny screws holding in the tripod foot. So I don't think this will hold up if you mount your camera to your tripod using that little thing. If you do be very careful it is bound to break with such a weak connection to the adapter holding your rig to your lens and camera. For an adapter made for PL lenses (which are big and solidly built without exception) there should be a very sturdy professional tripod foot on the adapter if you are going to put one on there at all.Other than that it seems to hold the lenses well shot with it for a whole day but I never swapped lenses since I was using a teleprompter. It does hold the lens very, VERY snug to your camera. Which is nice if you have something to support the weight of your lens I would use it. Even if it's just a Follow focus.

Nicely built as you would expect from the pro grade adapters of Fotodiox.Have not tested thoroughly with my GH2.

I decided to give Fotodiox a second chance on their PL Micro 4/3 adapter and I'm sorry to say it's not good enough.It's like they take two steps forward and three steps back.On the plus side, This one is more well made than the previous one, but the support has a provision for the standard 3/8ths screw but for some bizarre reason it's offset from center.This mean if you planned on using this with rails, they won't be centered, ad therefore useless.If you're using PL mount lenses, you're probably not just a point-and-shoot photographer. You're probably doing more serious work and this adapter won't help.Not surprising from the company that put the pin in the wrong place on the last PL adapter.

My lens is the Carl Zeiss Vario Sonnar T 2,4/12-120mm with PL mount. I have purchased, from Amazon, the Fotodiox Pro Arri PL Mount lens to Micro Four Thirds mount camera body but I have issues on long distance focusing in wide-angle mode. So I've tested my lens, without adapter, on a PL camera - the Canon EOs c300 - and the lens is ok. This adapter don't work correctly.
