Description

Introducing the Atlas 1.6x LF Extender (PL to LPL)

TheAtlas 1.6x LF Extender (PL to LPL) allows Orion series lenses to fully cover large format sensors larger than S35, including ARRI LF, Sony VENICE, RED Monstro, and other full-frame or Vistavision sensors. This extender is optimized to deliver superior optical performance even wide open, with only 1.3 stops of light loss. A control gauge is included to ensure the rear element of the lens does not interfere with the extender’s optics. On an S35 sensor, it extends the focal length by 1.6x (a 100mm becomes 160mm, an 80mm becomes 127mm).

Practical use cases for the Atlas 1.6x LF Extender (PL to LPL)

This extender is ideal for productions requiring full coverage of large-format sensors while using existing PL lenses. It also allows for a 1.6x focal length increase on Super 35 sensors, offering greater versatility for -ups without changing lenses.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. What is the light loss with this extender?

The Atlas LF Extender generates a loss of only 1.3 stops, which allows high optical performance to be maintained even at wide apertures.

2. Which sensors is this extender compatible with?

It is compatible with ARRI LF, Sony VENICE, RED Monstro and other full-frame, Vistavision and large format sensors superior to the S35.

3. What is the multiplication factor on the S35 sensor?

On an S35 sensor, the extender applies a 1.6x multiplication factor to the native focal length of the lens.

4. What is the purpose of the supplied control gauge?

The control gauge allows verification that the rear element or the cone of the lens does not interfere with the optics of the multiplier, ensuring mechanical compatibility.

5. Does this extender only work with Orion lenses?

It is optimized for the Orion series lenses from Atlas Lens Co., ensuring maximum optical performance with this range.
