Full details

The DZOFILM Marlin 1.6x Expander is for cinematographers using PL lenses on L-Mount cameras who want to expand their creative options. Its key benefit is multiplying focal length by 1.6x, enabling Super 35 lenses to cover Full Frame or Vista Vision sensors with minimal light loss. A potential caveat is ensuring your lens's flange back distance is compatible.

Can I use any PL lens with this expander?

Troubleshooting

Lens does not mount correctly.

Verify that the lens is a PL mount and that its flange back distance is within the specified limit (less than 19.64mm).

Image appears soft or out of focus.

Use the quick flange back adjustment ring on the expander to precisely calibrate the flange back distance. Ensure the lens itself is focused correctly.

Vignetting is present in the image.

This may be inherent to using an expander with certain lens and sensor combinations. Try adjusting the expander's flange back or consider using a lens that covers a wider image circle.

Expander feels loose on the camera.

Ensure the expander is securely locked onto the L-Mount camera body. Utilize the detachable supporting base for added stability if necessary.
