No, this is a dedicated manual-focus cinema lens designed for professional focus pulling.
It can be adapted with a PL-to-mirrorless adapter, but electronic metadata features may not function unless the adapter supports Cooke /i protocol transmission.
It is designed for high-end cinematography performance, specifically optimized for sensors up to 6K and 8K resolution.
It records lens data like focus, iris, and zoom settings frame-by-frame, which streamlines VFX and post-production workflows.
This specific model features metric focus markings for precise distance measurement.
Verify that the lens is fully seated in the PL-i mount and check the camera menu settings to ensure Cooke /i protocol is enabled.
Verify that the back-focus of the cinema camera is correctly calibrated for the PL mount system.
Gently wipe the gold-colored pins on the mount with a dry, clean microfiber cloth; never use liquid cleaners on electronic contacts.
This lens is designed for professional cinema cameras equipped with a PL mount. When mounting the lens, ensure that the electronic contacts on the PL-i mount are clean and properly aligned to ensure successful communication with the camera body. To maintain optimal performance, avoid touching the glass elements directly. Use a soft, lint-free cloth or lens brush for cleaning. For storage, keep the lens in a dust-free environment with the caps secured and ensure the humidity level is controlled to prevent internal element clouding or fungus growth. Always calibrate your camera's lens settings to recognize the /i interface upon the first connection to ensure metadata transmission is active.
