FAQ Adapters: Will this Arri PL Lens fit this adapter (Arri PL Lens Mount to Canon EOS (EF, EF-S) Camera System)Updated a year ago

The adapter will fit the Camera EF Mount; however the adapter is very limited in the lenses that will fit. Most Arri/Zeiss/Red PL-Mount lenses will not work with the PL to EOS lens mount adapter. Due to the registration distance of modern PL lenses and the depth of the Canon EF mirror-box (even though the mirror less cameras do not have a mirror, it is based on the same dimensions), it is virtually impossible to get the modern PL lenses to focus properly without permanently modifying the EF mount housing.

The adapter will work on some older PL mount lenses that have a short rear optic (the piece behind the flange, see attached image and list of tested lenses below). If your PL lens has the longer rear optic, the only way to fit it to a Canon EOS EF mount is to permanently modify the camera body by removing the EF lens mount (there are a couple companies that can be found online to do this).
