Nice informative video on the mount changing process. Would it be better to just get a pl to ef adapter for faster lens swap if you have 1 or 2 pl lenses and the rest are ef lenses that a project needs? I have a canon eos M with speed booster and if the pl to ef adapter would work so no mount swaps needed since the adapter is working. Also pl mount can do vertical anamorphic, but in my case would the speedbooster fit? If you can test it, that would be helpful.
That totally depends, on the lenses, budget as well as camera I think. And the project obviously if you shot a lot of vertical content. Then again if your other PL lenses aren't full frame and you're shooting on s35. A simple PL adapter would get the job done as you wouldn't gain much by running them through a speed booster. Vs. Running your Blazars through the speedbooster you already have... I run my Blazar Remus lenses 98% of the time with the Metabones Ultra EF-E 0.71X Speed booster and that speed booster is essentially a part of those lenses. Meaning it's always mounted on the 45 which I use the most. So I see my Remus lenses as E-mount lens when it comes to lens changes. (If I'm not shooting on my Fuji or Canon) You could always consider getting a Cine PL Speedbooster but as they're more of an investment and you might want to make sure you're getting one that fits the mount type you're planing on going with for a while... And remember, if those other PL mount lenses you have doesn't have full frame coverage you'll lose resolution by cropping away the black/vignetted area of the frame. The only good thing with keeping everything PL is if you're planning on renting theses out or if you're often working with other shooters who runs similar set ups and there's a need for you to be able to compatible on PL. That and selling them, PL would be beneficial, so that's why I have both PL and EF for my Remus lenses, but I use them with EF as it fits my workflow better than PL. Hope this made it easier and not more confusing ;)
Mine came with shims in small plastic baggies. If you need to order some you should order from Blazarlens.com to make sure you got the guide pin and everything correctly located on those shims. Hope this helps.
Yes exactly, there's plenty of PL to e-mount adapters at varying price ranges. Ranging from about $149 for Viltrox to $500 for the mofage poco with rear drop in filters.

Where do you get shims? Do you have a link you recommend?
Mine came with shims in small plastic baggies. If you need to order some you should order from Blazarlens.com to make sure you got the guide pin and everything correctly located on those shims.
Hope this helps.
So if im using a sony fx3, and want to get a remus lens with a PL mount, do i need to get an adapter?
