KIPON has started shipping its new BAVEYES S35/PL-FF/PL 1.4x Expander, which allows you to use S35 lenses on full frame sensor cameras without any vignetting. It does have quite a deep intake depth; however, it will fit most PL mount S35 lenses (a lens checker is included with the adapter).
The adaptor is designed to bring out the maximum optical performance of Super 35mm format PL mount lenses and to minimize optical performance deterioration. The expander increases your focal length by 1.4x and reduces your light by just 1 stop, making it possible to convert a Super 35 lens to cover full frame sensors.
It covers the traditional 36 x 24mm sensor size and smaller. Its optical design was created to minimize the impact on the optical character of the lens. The 1.4x expander sets up easily with its own integrated flange back adjustment with no shimming necessary. The Super 35 lens used must cover an image circle of at least 31mm into the camera natively.
Pricing
The BAVEYES PL/S35 Super 35-PL/FF Full Frame 1.4x Expander is now available to purchase for $1,680 USD.
