The DZOFilm Marlin 1.6x Expander for PL Lens to PL-Mount Camera allows you to use Super 35 PL-mount lenses on full-frame or VistaVision cameras while preserving the original S35 angle of view. Designed for professional cine workflows, this expander provides a seamless solution for adapting S35 glass to larger sensors without compromising framing.
Constructed from durable aluminum, the Marlin Expander mounts between your PL lens and PL-mount camera, magnifying the image by 1.6x to properly cover full-frame and VistaVision sensors. Ideal for cinematographers working across multiple camera formats, this expander offers a practical way to extend the versatility of existing S35 lenses while maintaining consistent field of view and image composition.
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. Front and rear caps and a detachable steel support base are included.

Magnifies the Image Circle by 1.6x
The extender converts Super35 Pictor Zoom lenses to cover full frame or VistaVision sensors. It multiplies the focal length by 1.6x with only 1.5 stops of light loss.
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.
Solid and Sturdy
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.
