The DZOFilm Marlin 1.6x Expander for PL Lens to RF-Mount Camera allows you to use Super35 PL-mount lenses on full-frame or VistaVision RF-mount cameras while expanding the image circle for proper sensor coverage. Designed for professional cinema workflows, this expander optically magnifies the image by 1.6x, increasing coverage to better suit larger-format sensors.
Constructed from durable aluminum, the Marlin expander provides a secure and precise connection between PL lenses and RF-mount cameras. It enables cinematographers to maximize the versatility of their existing S35 glass when working with full-frame systems, offering a practical solution for multi-format productions and lens kit flexibility.
The Marlin is compatible with most S35 lenses and features an easy, quick flange back adjustment ring that allows you to adjust the image further without removing the lens, and no shims are required. Front and rear caps and a detachable steel support base are included.

Retains Optical Performance and Operability
The Marlin maintains superb image quality without decreasing resolution, and it enables the use of S35 lenses to be compatible with FF and VistaVision cameras to facilitate the use of different lenses for more possibilities.
Quick Flange Back Adjustment
Minor flange back adjustment is achieved through a back adjustment ring; no need to use shims (excluding PL-PL and PL-LPL versions). To achieve the best image performance, the FBD can be quickly adjusted without removing the lens and camera.

The expander includes a detachable supporting base and stainless steel mount.
Broad Compatibility
The Marlin is compatible with a wide variety of lenses on the market. The distance from the flange plane of the lens to the rear should be less than PL (19.64mm). The Marlin Adapter Clearance Check tool can be downloaded from the manufacturer's website to check the suitability.
