Description
Introducing the Atlas 1.6x LF Extender (PL to PL)
TheAtlas 1.6x LF Extender allows Orion series lenses to provide full coverage on large-format sensors, including ARRI LF, Sony VENICE, RED Monstro, and other VistaVision formats. This extender is optimized to deliver superior optical performance even at wide apertures, with only 1.3 stops of light loss. Each extender includes a control gauge to ensure the rear element of the lens does not interfere with the extender’s optics.
Practical use cases for the Atlas 1.6x LF Extender (PL to PL)
Ideal for full-frame cinematography requiring extended focal lengths without changing lenses. Allows for quick adaptation of Orion lenses to ARRI LF or Sony VENICE productions. On a Super 35 sensor, it transforms a 100mm lens into a 160mm or an 80mm into a 127mm for tight framing.
Frequently Asked Questions:
1. What is the light loss with this extender?
The extender causes a loss of 1.3 stops, which is still very reasonable for a multiplier of this class.
2. Which sensors are compatible with the Atlas LF Extender?
It covers ARRI LF, Sony VENICE, RED Monstro and other large format, Vistavision and full-frame sensors.
3. What is the multiplication factor on the S35 sensor?
On S35 sensor, the coefficient is 1.6x (a 100 mm becomes 160 mm, an 80 mm becomes 127 mm).
4. Does the extender preserve optical quality at wide apertures?
Yes, it is optimized to maintain superior optical performance even at full aperture.
5. Is a control gauge provided?
Yes, each extender includes a control gauge to check mechanical compatibility with the lens.
Highlights of the Atlas 1.6x LF Extender (PL to PL):
- Edge-to-edge coverage on large-format sensors and Vistavision
- Minimal loss of 1.3 stops for demanding professional use
- Optical performance maintained even at wide apertures
- Control gauge included to prevent any mechanical conflicts
- 1.6x crop factor on S35 to extend focal lengths without changing lenses
