Aaton LTR mount swap question


Peter Kelesis

Recommended Posts

I have an Aaton LTR  with an Aaton mount and a production I'm on would rather shoot PL than go through the hassle of finding Aaton mount lenses.

With that said, where would the best place in the United States ideally California (but not necessary) to get this conversion done. How much would it cost, and where would the best place to buy a PL mount be?

Thanks in advance!

It's very hard to find the mount. I've tried to find them for years and only found 1 in my 5 years of looking. That's the big problem, the conversion is easy but the mount is hard to find. The two places to ask are Abel Cine and AM Camera both in LA. They maybe able to find one for ya though connections I don't have.

From Les's site, i.e. 

"16mm Cameras

Aaton
We offer a PL Hardfront & we Can also convert the camera to Canon with our own unique
Iris Setting Unit which does not require any external devices i.e. Matchsticks,bits of plastic , etc

We also offer a Super 16 Conversion on the LTR"
