EF to PL Lens adapter for BMCC + 4k

PostWed Aug 14, 2013 11:41 pm

I have a set of Zeiss PL mount CP-2 lenses and several Zeiss/Sony E mount lenses. Am considering purchasing the 4k BMCC. Can anyone recommend a high quality EF to PL adapter that will work with the BMCC? Also, EF to E mount. Thanks for your recommendation.

I'm pretty sure you actually have to swap the Mount off the lens with one of these kits: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?at ... 4206889852

If you don't want to physically swap the mounts on your glass, your other option is to grab the BMCC MFT or BMPCC and just use a PL to MFT adapter.

I'm very happy with pl to eos adapter sold and made by ciecio7 on eBay, top quality.

Many pl lenses are to wide at the back and won't fit in a eos mount though. Check the compatibility list on ciecio7's product page.


E-mount lenses will not fit at all because of the much shorter flange distance.
