PL Mount to FD???

I know about the Hot Rod PL mount but am not wanting to invest in a mount that costs over $1000. I have a lot of great rental houses here in NYC where I can get a hold of zeiss and cooke cinema lenses and am really wanting to start going that route for larger projects.

Does anyone know of a less expensive m4/3 to PL mount that "gets the job done" without messing up the camera or lens? Theoretically, I would assume these adapters wouldn't be that expensive to make.


Thanks~!
 
Hi Jerry,

Why not just rent the Hot Rod PL kit from the same rental houses that rent you the lenses? They would probably make you a very good deal on a Hot Rod PL rental with a set of lenses.

Best regards,

Hadn't thought of renting the mount from the rental house. I'll check in to see if they have just the mount for rental.

I read the post and am also curious about what had to be modified to fit PL mount Cooke lenses? As the other person on the forum had mentioned, the m4/3 format not having a mirror or penta-prism allows for PL lenses to attached with just an adapter (and Hot Rod is VERY expensive).
