Overview

The Wooden Camera PL Modification Kit for Canon C300mkII is a purpose-built solution for cinematographers who want to use high-end PL mount cinema lenses on their Canon camera. Machined from aircraft-grade aluminum, the mount adapter replaces the stock EF mount with a standard PL mount, providing a rigid and precise connection between camera and lens. The kit is entirely self-contained, shipping with every tool you need for the conversion along with a PL port cap to protect the sensor when no lens is attached.

One of the kit's most important features is its set of seven color-coded shims, each a different thickness, which allow you to dial in back focus with exceptional precision. This is critical when working with cinema PL glass, where even tiny flange distance discrepancies can affect image sharpness. The entire modification is fully reversible, meaning you can return to the original EF mount whenever your project demands it. At just 251g, the PL mount adds negligible weight to the camera body, keeping your rig balanced and manageable on set.
