About the Arri PL#

The cinema-industry standard lens mount.

Adapting basics#

A lens can be adapted with simple tube spacers when its flange distance is longer than the camera's. With 52.00 mm, Arri PL lenses can in principle go on bodies with shorter flanges such as Tamron Adaptall, Contax N, KMZ Zenit DKL-mount, Leica R, Nikon F, Olympus OM. Bodies with this mount can take lenses from longer-flange systems such as T-mount (T2), Mini T-mount, YS mount, Mamiya 6, Vivitar TX, Mamiya 7, Hasselblad H, Ricoh 126C-Flex.
