2 Lens mount adapters?

Hi, all, long time reader first time poster.

 

My situation is that I bought a C mount camera which will arrive next month, after purchasing some Arri Bayonet Primes.. I did not think there would be a problem in finding a suitable adapter, but I have been very wrong.

 

Will it be possible to use the AB - PL adapter I have, and attach that to the PL- C adapter that will be coming with the camera. Or will there be too much of a gap between the glass and camera to attain focus?

 

Please let me know folks, I may have time to sell the AB lenses and get some C primes in time for my cameras arrival.

 

Thanks in advance.

Yes, it should be fine, I've used that combination of adapters without a problem. As long as the adapters are properly made.

 

If you want to rely on the focus distance scales of the lenses you'll want to get their back-focus checked when mounted to your camera, as each adapter will add a little more potential variation to that critical distance.
