Alexander Boyd Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Hello everyone, I have a simple question: which adapter should I use when planning to use a lens in Arri Standard Mount on a camera with Aaton Mount? Is a "Arri Bayonet to Aaton" adapter doing the job? I can't seem to find a "Arri Standard to Aaton" adapter. Thanks in advance for your help!

Brian Drysdale Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 (edited) Arri Bayonet mounts work in a different way. Usually standard mount adapters have grub screws that tighten into the groove on the lens mount, Bayonet mount adapters usually have a rotary action that compresses onto the two projecting lugs that project from that lens mount.

Dom Jaeger Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Try this: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/like/251393083950?limghlpsr=true&hlpv=2&ops=true&viphx=1&hlpht=true&lpid=107 It's a little confusing because most Standard mount lenses will fit a camera with Arri Bayonet mount (Arri designed the newer B mount to still accept older lenses), but it usually doesn't work that way with adapters.

Alexander Boyd Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 Thanks Bryan, thanks Dom! Les Bosher told me he'd manufacture one for around 200GBP, so I'll either go with him or try the one in the ebay link above. Thanks again for your help!

Jean-Louis Seguin Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I can sell you an adapter that will work with both Arri standard mounts and bayonet mounts. It's steel and very well made. Price $150 USD. PM me if you're interested. Cheers, Jean-Louis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
