LangISback Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Is it possible to attach c-mount lenses to an xl-1s?, I have a couple of nice Switars and an Angenieux zoom for my 16mm ACL camera and I would love to use them on my XL1-s. Thanks a lot!, langISback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Gross Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 I believe the flange depth makes this impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LangISback Posted May 8, 2004 Author Share Posted May 8, 2004 But how is it that you can mount a PL mount lense with an adaptor? of course the focal distance will change, but it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Gross Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 A PL mount lens has a deep flange depth, meaning the distance between the mount and the sensor (either film or video chip). If the depth is incorrect then the lens will not focus properly if at all. The PL mount has a longer FD than the XL-1 mount so an adapter can be constructed that will stick out of the camera and still be at the correct depth. The C-mount depth is very short, too short to allow a proper mount adapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
