Shoten Kobo Co., Ltd. will begin selling the 'APO Cambrian Prime' series of six PL-mount cinema lenses compatible with large formats by DULENS, as well as the 'MAGIDAPT PL' mount adapter that allows PL-mount lenses to be used on various mirrorless cameras, on Friday, April 3, 2026.
The 'APO Cambrian Prime' series is a lineup of six PL-mount, large-format compatible cinema lenses: 24mm, 32mm, 40mm, 55mm, 77mm, and 105mm.
While featuring an image circle compatible with large sensors such as GFX, Vista Vision, and ARRI ALEXA 65, it achieves a lightweight design of approximately 605g to 840g. It balances a vintage-like calm atmosphere and impressive flares achieved by the unique V+ coating, with natural and stable rendering made possible by the APO (Apochromat) design.
Released alongside it, the 'MAGIDAPT PL' is a mount adapter for using PL-mount lenses on various mirrorless cameras with Sony E, Nikon Z, Canon RF, and L mounts. Adopting interchangeable mount parts, a single adapter supports four types of camera mounts. Its lightweight design of approximately 115g to 130g and a detachable tripod collar enhance the operational efficiency of the PL system.
Making video production in the large sensor era more flexible
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the video production field towards expressions utilizing large sensors that exceed full frame. On the other hand, lenses compatible with large formats tend to become larger and heavier, often making mobility and setup burden a challenge on set.
The DULENS 'APO Cambrian Prime' series are cinema lenses designed to meet such on-site needs. In addition to the rich image creation unique to large sensor compatibility, the unified lens barrel design across the series and the lightweight housing consider handling during shooting and the efficiency of lens changes. Furthermore, by combining it with the 'MAGIDAPT PL,' it becomes easier to utilize PL-mount lens assets on various mirrorless cameras.
