DZOFilm Octopus Adapter (PL to L, Black)

The DZOFilm Octopus Adapter (PL to L, Black) provides a mechanical interface for using ARRI PL-mount lenses on cameras equipped with an L-Mount. It is designed for production setups that need to bring PL cinema glass onto an L-Mount body while maintaining infinity focus.

The adapter uses an all-metal aluminum construction and is built around tight mechanical tolerances for a secure lens fit. Internal flocking helps reduce reflections inside the adapter, while a 1/4"-20 female thread underneath provides a dedicated point for lens support when the camera package needs additional mechanical reinforcement.

Why It Helps

For a camera department already carrying PL cinema glass, the Octopus Adapter provides a practical way to use those lenses with an L-Mount camera body. The adapter maintains infinity focus, keeping the lens's far-focus capability available after the mount conversion.

The mechanical side of the build is equally important. DZOFilm uses an all-metal aluminum design with tight tolerances, giving the lens a direct physical interface rather than relying on a loose-fitting conversion. A built-in 1/4"-20 female thread also gives the rig a dedicated attachment point for lens support.

Inside the adapter, flocking helps control reflections between the lens and camera. There is no electronic communication through the mount, so the adapter stays focused on its core job: providing a stable mechanical connection between an ARRI PL lens and an L-Mount camera.
