The Fotodiox Pro Lens Mount Adapter ARRI PL to Leica L allows you to use your ARRI PL-mounted lenses to fit on a camera body with a Leica L mount, allowing you to use your existing PL mount lenses with newer cameras that feature the Leica L mount. This is a lens mount adapter designed to attach to the lens itself, it is not meant to permanently adapt the mount of the camera. The adapter mounts to the lens and is removable, so you can use one adapter on many different PL mounted lenses.
The adapter maintains the correct flange focal distance, and this means that you don't have to worry about your lenses' focus shifting due to the adapter; infinity is maintained. Featuring brass construction with a stainless steel finish, this adapter is a strong, durable unit. A built-in tripod support foot features a 1/4"-20 threaded mounting hole so you can attach a tripod or monopod to the adapter, limiting the amount of stress you put on the camera's mount. There is no electronic control of the lens through the adapter, so you need to use a lens that has manual focus and iris capabilities. However, the adapter allows TTL (Through-the-Lens) metering, and when using a lens with the adapter, the camera body should be set to either manual exposure or aperture priority mode.
