IBE PLx1.6 VV Optical Expander
IB/E PLx1.6 VV Optical Expander
The PLx1.6 VV Optical Expander increases the focal length by a factor of 1.66x. It allows the use of S35 lenses on large-format cameras up to 46.5 mm sensor diameter and supports a maximum aperture of T-Stop 2.0. The PLx1.6 VV is characterized by a robust and durable mechanical design with stainless steel PL mounts and anodized aluminium as well as decorative surface outside and flair minimized surfaces inside.
Please Note: The PLx1.6 VV is incompatible with mirror cameras but can be used with most S35 PL lenses.
Details
The first wave of large format cameras is on the market and includes: the ARRI ALEXA LF, ARRI ALEXA 65, RED MONSTRO 8K VV, PANAVISION Millennium DXL2, SONY VENICE, CANON C700 and others. Larger sensors deliver a film-style look and interesting bokeh due to their very shallow depth of field. These new cameras require lenses that can cover larger sensor sizes or an expander that allows cinematographers to use their favorite S35 lenses.
- Can be used with many PL mount S35 optics
- UMS PL Mount System compatible
- Note: NOT compatible with mirror shutter cameras
