Q: 1. Is it perfect for Fuji camera x-t3?

Q: 2. Will this work with the original 1/4 20 Wooden Camera Ultra Arm?

A: The Wooden Camera ARRI Locating Pin will work with the original 1/4-20 Ultra Arm.

Q: 3. On a Panasonic S1H, will my PL-mount Zeiss Standard Speed lenses cover the sensor? Or will they vignette? Is there a mode in camera to crop to Super 35?

A: That depends on your lens. If it only covers a Super 35mm sensor you will need to shoot with the S1H in a cropped sensor mode.

Q: 4. How is the L-mount side? Any play or looseness? For example, I have tried both the Sigma MC-31 and the Fotodiox Pro and while the Sigma is very snug on the L-mount side, the Fotodiox is loose and sloppy. How does the Wooden Camera version compare?

A: The adapter is a bit lighter and thinner than some others but does seem to be very good. And it comes with universal support foot. I would suggest using that to help relieve stress on the Camera lens mount. Especially with heavy lenses.

Q: 5. I need the PL mount kit for my Tokina ATX 50-135 (2017 version... not the last one). Do you have it? Thanks

A: At the moment we only have the mount kit for the new version of the lenses.

Q: 6. Is the support foot removable?

A: Yes, the tripod food is removable. :)

Q: 7. I'm looking to change my EF mount to a PL mount. Is there any specific documentation I can find on the necessary changes in terms of distance? Or should I just not mess with the shims and change the mount only?

A: This will all depend on the camera you are using as flange-focal distance can vary among camera types. There should be documentation that will help guide you included.

Q: 8. Will either channel 1 or 2 record audio in stereo? or channel 1 = left channel only, and channel 2 = right channel only in mono?

A: Hi James. The A-box sends two independent channels. It is up the the setting in the camera how these are used, so check your settings, but it is wired as two independent tracks.

Q: 9. Can I use shim on this adapter to adjust flange focus?

A: Metabones do not make shims for this adapter.

Q: 10. This adapter doesn't support shims, but many PL-L Mount adapters do. What are some use cases where shims might be necessary?

A: You are correct, the Metabones Lens Mount Adapter for ARRI PL-Mount Lens to Leica L-Mount Camera does not included any shims. When a lens is not at the correct distance to the camera sensor, the lens' focal range would be a bit off, so shims would be necessary in a case like this.
