Daniel Kuberek Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Hi guys, I recently saw a lens on sale with an NC Mitchell mount. Does anyone have any wisdom about whether this can be adapted/modified to PL? I know P+S make some BNC and BNCR Mitchell to PL mounts, but there doesn't seem to be much info about NC Mitchell mounts.

Premium Member Dom Jaeger Posted August 31, 2021 Premium Member Share Posted August 31, 2021 NC mount has a shorter flange depth than PL - 43.05mm. Combined with the body diameter as well as the larger flange with mounting screw holes I think it would be difficult to make an adapter that seats the lens nearly 9mm inside a PL mount. Someone made an adapter to use NC mount lenses on m4/3 cameras though: https://www.shapeways.com/product/EEST6RYW7/mitchell-nc-standard-35mm-to-52mm-rv-adapter It might be possible to remove the lens from the NC mount and customise a PL mount adaption, but it would be lens specific and not cheap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted August 31, 2021 Premium Member Share Posted August 31, 2021 As Dom says the PL mount uses deeper flange depth. A simple adaptor can take a lens made for a deeper flange depth and by extending the rear space make it work on a camera that uses a shorter flange depth — but not the other way around.
