DZOFilm Octopus Lens Adapter (PL to Sony E)

The DZOFilm Octopus Lens Adapter (PL to Sony E) allows ARRI PL-mount lenses to be used on Sony E-mount camera bodies. Built as a mechanical lens-mount adapter, it maintains infinity focus while giving production crews a practical route for bringing PL glass onto an E-mount camera package.

A stainless-steel mount forms the mechanical interface, while flocking inside the adapter helps control internal reflections. DZOFilm also provides a 1/4"-20 female support thread beneath the adapter, giving the rig a mounting point that can help take some of the load away from the camera's lens mount.

Why It Helps

For a camera package built around Sony E mount but stocked with PL cinema lenses, the Octopus adapter gives those lenses a direct mechanical path onto the camera. Infinity focus is maintained, so the adapter handles the mount change without cutting off the lens's normal far-focus range.

The flocked interior is a small but useful detail in a production adapter. By reducing reflections inside the mount, it helps keep stray light from bouncing around the internal path between the lens and camera.

Lens weight is another practical consideration, particularly once larger PL glass is fitted to a compact E-mount body. The built-in 1/4"-20 female support thread provides an attachment point for additional support and can help reduce stress on the camera's lens mount. Electronic communication is not provided, so the adapter remains a purely mechanical interface.
