The DZOFILM Marlin 1.6× Expander PL → Canon RF extends the focal length of a PL cine lens by 1.6× and enlarges its image circle enough for a Super 35 lens to cover a full-frame sensor. Its 5-element, 2-group optics with high-index SR glass and large aspherical elements preserve the lens's rendering, and a built-in back-focus adjustment replaces shims.

The expander narrows the field of view and compresses perspective without buying another lens. The change in T-stop is roughly one and a half stops – T2.8 becomes T4.8. Useful wherever you need a longer focal length without changing lenses.
High-index SR optical elements with large aspherical lenses and a flocked anti-reflective interior suppress stray light and chromatic aberration, so the image keeps the look of the original lens. The optics use 5 elements in 2 groups.
The enlarged image circle helps Super 35 lenses cover a full-frame sensor, or expands the lens choice for a full-frame body. Your existing set lasts longer and a new one isn't needed. The PL → Canon RF version mounts directly on Canon RF mirrorless and cinema cameras.
A built-in back-focus adjustment works without removing the lens or using shims, so switching between lenses or cameras is quick – ideal for rental houses and demanding shoots. The front and rear mounts are CNC-machined stainless steel, resist binding and stay accurate after repeated mounting.
