The Fotodiox Pro Lens Mount Adapter ARRI PL to Canon EF allows you to use select ARRI PL-mounted lenses to fit on a camera body with a Canon EF mount, allowing you to use your existing PL mount lenses with newer cameras that feature the Canon EF 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.
This adapter is designed to prevent you from mounting it onto a lens that extends greater than 14mm from the rear of the mount. This is to prevent the adapted lens from causing damage to the camera and the lens itself. However, the adapter may fit on some lenses that extend greater than 14mm, so before using any lens with this adapter on a camera with a Canon EF mount, confirm that the lens has proper clearance throughout the focus range. The adapter has been tested to work on a Canon camera with EF mount with the following lenses. Please note that although other lenses may work with this adapter, only the lenses below have been tested for proper operation.

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.
