Canon PL to RF Lens Mount Adapter Reviews

Silly Expensive, But Worth It?

By Oliver
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2026-04-26

I think this is the most expensive PL mount adapter on the market, by a large margin. Many companies offer RF/PL units in the $200 range. This unit is notable for the following reasons: weather sealing gasket around the mount, canon bolt pattern for hard mounting to cinema EOS bodies, and Cooke data support. Cooke data doesn’t matter to me as none of my lenses support it. However, weather sealing and the extra mount support are critical for me. As far as I can tell, only Nisi makes another RF/PL adapter with a gasket on the mount. And Kippertie sells a unit that can mounted to the body bolt holes, but no gasket. This unit has both features and is extremely well built. The price was tough to justify but it’s the only adapter I’ve found that is truly rock solid, zero play, and sealed on cinema eos cameras. If I had just purchased this to begin with I’d have saved nearly its cost in other adapters.

Solid mount with some quirks

As it stands this is the only PL mount that I'm aware of for the C400 that provides lens data and mounting points on the camera, so if you absolutely need those things then you don't have much choice. On the positive side the mount fits securely and I had zero alignment or back focus issues out of the box. As for the negatives: - As another reviewer mentioned - the rear baffles make it unusable with some lenses. I find it really odd that Canon doesn't offer any dimensional documentation for this. - The support foot design isn't great. It uses two smaller (M4?) screws and doesn't fully clear the protrusion at the base of the C400, so you'd need to mount another interface plate to that before attaching the PL mount to the camera, and then attach the additional plate to your cage. - The Focus Guide assist tools do not work with this mount. This is stated in the C400 manual, but was something I wasn't aware of until I went to test it. - The mounting brackets do make it more solid than the cheaper RF-PL adapters that only attach by the lens mount, but it is still nowhere near as robust as something like the E-PL mount included with the Venice/Burano. Plan on running additional lens support if you're using this with mid-size (Tokina Vista, Angenieux EZ, etc) lenses or larger.
