The PL to PL Mount 1.6X Expander from Tokina is designed to enable the use of Super35 format PL lenses with full-frame 6-8K HD PL-mount cameras. This expander enlarges the diameter of the image circle on the camera's sensor by a factor of 1.6x, suiting the lens for use with cameras with up to 1.85" sensors.

Constructed with seven elements in four groups, the 1.6X Expander features an aperture compensation of just 1.36 T-stops. This expander works best with lenses with T2.0 or larger apertures and when stopped down to T2.8 or less.

Q: 3. will this Tokina PL to PL Mount 1.6X expander work whit sigma cine zooms 18-35mm and 50-100mm?

A: Tokina has not made a list of compatible lenses. Supplied with the expander is a gauge so you can check before hand. If you have the lenses, but not the Expander, you can measure 20mm from the tip of the lens to the flange. If longer, no, you cannot use the Expander. If shorter, yes, you can use the Expander. They do say that most PL Zooms such as the ones you are asking about will fit while many PL Primes will not.
