Does B&H offer the EF versions of this? I heard the EF versions need a modified adapter to fit on the Komodo X's?
Asked by: Patrick
The Venus Optics Laowa Ranger S35 Lite 17-50mm T2.9 Cine Lens (ARRI PL) only ships as a PL mount lens. However, you can add the Venus Optics Interchangeable Mount for Laowa Ranger S35 17-50mm & 50-130mm Zooms (Canon EF), B&H # VEIB1750EF, to swap the mount on the lens. To mount the lens on the Komodo X, you will also need an RF mount adapter, like the Metabones T CINE Smart Adapter Mark II for Canon EF Mount Lens to RF Mount Camera, B&H # MEMBEFEFRBT2. Please note, the only cameras currently tested with the EF mount are the BMPCC6K PRO, Canon C300, and Z-cam EF. For all other cameras, there is a clearance test chart provided by Venus here: https://bhpho.to/4croRqm.
