Asked by: John
Probably a much cheaper option by just using the Wooden Camera PL-E adapter and shooting in s35. You won't loose focal distance or stops.

Does this keep the same FOV for full frame lenses? Basically, does the 1.6x apply? Or does it *only* expand S35 lenses?
Asked by: Tim
The Tokina PL to Sony E Mount 1.6X Expander is meant for Super35 lenses, not full frame lenses. This would expand the full frame lens image as well.

Is this compatible with the vintage Angenieux 25-250 T3.9?
Asked by: Kaleb
The Tokina PL to Sony E Mount 1.6X Expander is compatible with all PL-mount lenses that have a flange depth up to 21 mm. Compatibility with a vintage Angenieux 25-250mm T3.9 lens cannot be guaranteed; however, as long as the flange depth of the lens is less than 21mm it should work.
