Product Information

Full details

The DZOFilm Octopus Adapter is designed for professional videographers and cinematographers who need to mount high-quality PL-mount cinema lenses onto Canon mirrorless cameras with an RF-mount. It provides the key benefit of a rock-solid, vibration-free connection that maintains perfect optical alignment, though users should note that as a mechanical adapter, it does not pass electronic lens data or autofocus signals to the camera body.

FAQs

Does this adapter support autofocus?

No, this is a fully mechanical adapter and does not support autofocus or electronic metadata.

Can I use this with Canon EF lenses?

No, this adapter is specifically for PL-mount cinema lenses to Canon RF-mount cameras.

Does the support foot come off?

Yes, the 1/4"-20 support foot can be removed if your specific rig configuration does not require it.

Is this adapter compatible with full-frame RF cameras?

Yes, it is designed to work with all Canon RF-mount mirrorless cameras, including full-frame models.

Why is the inside black and fuzzy?

That is the flocking coating, which is specifically designed to absorb light to prevent internal flare and improve contrast.

Troubleshooting

Lens feels loose or wiggles when attached

Ensure the active-locking collar is fully rotated into the 'lock' position until it clicks.

Infinity focus appears slightly soft

Verify that no debris or dust is caught between the mounting flange surfaces on the camera or lens side.

Camera does not recognize the lens

This is expected behavior as the adapter is purely mechanical and does not facilitate electronic data transfer.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely secure, play-free connection
  • Reduces strain on camera mount via support foot
  • High-quality, durable materials
  • Internal coating prevents light reflections

Cons

  • Does not support electronic communication or autofocus
  • Adds significant weight to the camera setup
  • Requires manual aperture control on vintage or cinema lenses

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the adapter, align the pins on the PL-mount side with the grooves on your cinema lens, insert, and rotate the locking collar until it clicks firmly into place. Attach the RF-mount side to your camera body just as you would a standard native lens. If using a heavy lens, ensure the support foot is secured to your baseplate or rod system before letting go of the camera. To care for the adapter, store it in a dry environment and keep the included PL-mount cap attached whenever a lens is not mounted to prevent dust from entering the sensor chamber. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents on the flocked interior; if dust accumulates, use a gentle air blower.
