DZOFilm Octopus – PL to Sony E Adapter

FULL DESCRIPTION

The DZOFilm Octopus PL → Sony E adapter allows cinema PL lenses to be mounted on Sony E-mount camera bodies while maintaining optical precision and infinity focus. Built to ±0.01 mm tolerances with a cine-style active locking system, it ensures a stable, play-free mechanical connection. The aluminum alloy body combined with a stainless steel mount provides durability without excess weight, and the flocked interior minimizes internal reflections.

This adapter is designed for filmmakers, cinematographers, and professionals looking to use PL legacy lenses on Sony mirrorless cameras. It is ideal for cinema productions, commercials, short films, or creative shoots where PL optics are required on Sony E systems (Cinema Line, full-frame, APS-C).

The included 1/4″-20 support foot helps relieve stress from the camera mount when using heavy lenses. No electronic communication is provided; focus, iris, and aperture must be controlled manually on the lens.
