Don't adapt your Nikon lenses for use on your Cion camera, replace the camera's mount instead with the Nikon to AJA CION replacement Lens Mount from MTF. Services Ltd. Take advantage of the CION's replaceable mount design, and convert your Cion camera from a PL Mount to a Nikon G compatible mount using just four screws. This mount accepts all virtually all Nikon mount lenses, including Nikon G type lenses which do not feature a manual aperture ring on the lens. The replacement lens mount features a mechanical connection for G lenses that allows you to manually control the aperture on a G type lens as if the lens had a manual aperture ring.

The body of the adapter is made from aluminum for its balance between strength & weight, and is anodized for scratch and corrosion resistance. The nickel-plated brass mounting surface mates with your Nikon lenses. The replacement mount is mechanical and works with Nikon mount lenses only and does not contain any optics or electronics.

Q: 1. When using this with the FS7M2 (with it's locking ring) and a larger Cine lens like the Sony CineAlta primes, do you still need lens/adapter support?

A: On metal bodied cameras with integral PL mounts prime lenses weighing up to 4 lbs, such as each of the Sony Cine Alta lenses, are fine in low stress situations and have no need of particular support. In stress situations such as high speed car stunts or roller coasters, a lens support would be highly recommended. Not only there an issue of the lens mount being broken but there would be the more insidious issue of the back focus depth being altered and you getting soft images. Light weight cameras with an E mount or EF mounts are not designed for large heavy PL mount lenses, particularly zooms. In these cases, we would recommend lens support as healthy and cheap insurance.

Q: 2. Does it works for a sony FX3 camera with CP3 lenses?

A: The MTF Services Ltd PL to Sony E Lens Mount Adapter (B&H # MTMTPLSEM) is not for the FX3. It works with the Sony NEX-3, the NEX-5, the NEX-VG10, and the NEX-FS100 cameras. However, the following Metabones adapter would work with the Sony FX3: the Metabones ARRI PL Lens to Sony E-mount Camera T Adapter (Black), B&H # MEMBPLEBT2.

Q: 3. Do I have to run the Z6 in APS-C mode for this adapter like the Fotodiox?

A: PL-mount lenses will cover the 35mm full-frame sensor. As such, you may choose to use either the full 35mm sensor or use the APS-C Crop Mode when using a PL-mount lens on the Nikon Z6 Mirrorless Digital Camera using the MTF Services Ltd PL Lens to Nikon Z-Mount Camera Adapter.

Q: 4. Why magnification factor? It has no glass right?

A: We are not aware of the exact mechanics behind how this adapter is constructed, but it does indeed offer a 1.1x magnification.

Q: 5. Is it possible using it in Sony A1 camera and a Canon B4 lens ?

A: Yes it will.

Q: 6. Plan to purchase this MTF mount adaptor on my Sony PXW FS5 with the Canon HJ11ex4.7B lens, any advise of how's the quality ? and is there any other cheaper lens mount option in the market ?

A: MTF Services Ltd quality is a world standard and nothing is better made. The quality is commensurate to it's price and it will be the best long term solution for you. This adapter will allow most if not all of the zoom range of B4 2/3 lenses when used on a Sony FS5 in 2k (crop) mode. Note: you will lose 0.8 stop of light. The only other option, the FotodioX Pro Lens Mount Adapter B4 to Sony E Mount, while much cheaper, does not have a lens to expand the image. Thus the B4 lenses only work at the telephoto end with the 2X doubler engaged. Even then, they have unusable wide angle images. This is all due to the fact the B4 lenses are designed for much smaller sensors than what the FS5 has.

Q: 7. Will this be compatible with the new black magic pocket cinema camera 4K. How does it perform?

A: The Pocket Cinema Camera 4K has an MFT mount. This adapter should work well to allow you to put PL lenses on the Pocket Cinema Camera 4K.

Q: 8. Can I use it with an HD Cine lens that does not have a 2x internal extender, but I add a 2x extender in between the MTF adapter and the lens?

A: In most cases the 2x extender must already be built in to the B4 Lens for it to work. This may not work if you add an extender.

Q: 9. Is there a list of specific PL lenses with which this will work? Or, moreover, with which it will NOT work?

A: There is no specific list of lenses that this adapter works with. However, it should work well with any PL-mounted 35mm format lens.

Q: 10. On my FS7 if I use a Non HD lens with 2x extender will the lens look sharp and be 100% useable when shooting 1920 or 720? Will it work with 4 K as well with same non HD lens?

A: An HD lens is recommended for this set-up. How sharp and usable the footage will be really will depend on the quality of the lens being used.
