Designed to adapt Mamiya 645 lenses to full frame sensors with a 0.7x strength, it transforms a 55mm f/2.8 lens into a 38mm f/2, making it more versatile for closeup shots with telephoto lenses. Its compact design and minimal flange distance set it apart, enabling it to be used on a wide array of cameras, from professional PL mount cameras like the Arri LF and Red Raptor XL to consumergrade Nikon Z, Sony E, Leica L, and Canon RF mounts, though DSLR users may face compatibility issues due to mirror obstruction.

Its adaptability extends to various medium format lenses with flange distances greater than 63mm, ensuring it remains a valuable asset as camera technology evolves. While lens technology progresses slowly, this adapter's flexibility means you won't need to constantly upgrade your lenses to match the latest camera bodies.

The adapter is allmanual, demanding manual focus and aperture control, housing 3 groups of 5 glass elements and featuring a locking mechanism for secure attachment. Despite its high price point of $1880, it offers unmatched versatility, futureproofing your investment in highquality lenses. Its robust allmetal construction ensures durability and reliable lens support, making it an indispensable tool for professional filmmakers and photographers seeking to maximize their lens compatibility and creative potential.
