- Front side - accepts Arri Standard (Arri-S) lens
- Rear side - fits Arri PL camera mount
This adapter works correctly with Arri-S prime lenses - it holds inner optical block still, and allows focusing mount of the lens rotate as it should.
Quick-change mechanism implemented - you can change lenses in seconds. And there is even no need to remove adapter from camera. So, you may consider is as camera mount conversion if you wish - install the adapter into the camera mount, and just change Arri S lenses then.
HOW TO INSTALL: position the adapter guiding pin against a lens mount slit, make sure the pin enters the slit, and push it carefully till you hear and feel a click.
HOW TO REMOVE: just pull the lens out of the adapter with reasonable effort.
Word of caution: if you have a reflex camera, make sure to NOT position this adapter with its guiding pin facing the shutter - you will damage your stutter in this case.
In any case, if your camera has a rotating shutter, turn it few times carefully by hand to make sure the shutter clears the adapter.
