🎬 M42 To Arri PL lens Adapter w/ Rear Cap! For Arriflex RED One Ursa Alexa BMCC!

This offer includes an M42 to ARRI PL lens adapter and an ARRI PL rear cap. The adapter is designed to mount vintage M42 screw-mount lenses on cameras with a native ARRI PL mount, allowing full manual focusing range from minimum focusing distance to infinity when used with compatible lenses.

This adapter is especially useful for cinematographers, filmmakers, and vintage lens users who want to adapt compact M42 lenses such as Helios-44-2, Industar-50-2, Jupiter-11, and some other compatible M42 lenses to PL-mount cinema cameras.

⚠️ Important Compatibility Notice – Please Read Before Ordering

This adapter is not compatible with every M42 lens.

Compatibility depends not only on the M42 thread, but also on the rear barrel diameter of the lens. Because M42 lenses have a shorter flange focal distance than ARRI PL, the lens must sit deeper inside the PL mount in order to reach infinity focus. For this reason, the rear part of the lens must be small enough to fit inside the adapter and PL mount area.

The maximum rear barrel diameter that can fit this adapter is approximately 50.5mm/50.56mm.

✅ Usually compatible with lenses such as:

  • Helios-44-2 58mm F2
  • Industar-50-2 50mm F3.5
  • Jupiter-11 135mm F4
  • Some other M42 lenses with rear barrel diameter below approximately 50.5mm
  • ❌ Not compatible with M42 lenses that have a larger rear barrel than approximately 50.5mm.

Please measure the rear diameter of your lens before ordering. If the rear part of your lens is larger than approximately 50.5 mm, the lens will not physically fit correctly and will not reach infinity focus with this standard adapter.

This is a mechanical limitation caused by the difference between the M42 flange focal distance and the ARRI PL flange focal distance, and internal limitations of PL mount.
