DZOFilm Marlin 1.6x Expander - PL to LPL Mount

It allows Super 35 PL mount lenses to be used on LPL mount cameras with Full Frame or Vista Vision sensors by increasing the focal length by 1.6x and magnifying the image circle.

The expander introduces a minimal light loss of approximately 1.5 stops.

The expander is compatible with PL mount lenses provided the distance from the flange plane of the lens to its rear is less than PL-19.64mm.

There is a special ring for shim-based adjustment and a Field Back Depth (FBD) adjustment that can be made quickly without removing the lens or camera.

No, the expander is designed to retain outstanding optical performance and superb image quality without decreasing resolution.

It is designed for LPL mount cameras, specifically those with Full Frame or Vista Vision sensors.

Yes, the expander features a detachable supporting base for flexibility and stability.

Adjust the flange back using the special ring and FBD adjustment mechanism. Ensure the lens rear flange distance meets the compatibility requirement (less than PL-19.64mm).

Check that the supporting base is properly attached and secured. Ensure the PL mount on the lens and the LPL mount on the camera are clean and free of obstructions.

This could be due to the lens's native image circle not being fully projected by the expander onto the larger sensor. Verify the compatibility of your Super 35 lens with the Full Frame/Vista Vision sensor coverage after expansion.

Ensure the expander is clean and that no extraneous light is entering the system. Verify that the lens and camera are properly exposed for the given conditions.
