LPL Mount
The SIGNATURE PRIME lenses are equipped with the ARRI LPL
lens mount. The ARRI LPL lens mount supports the ARRI Lens
Data System LDS-2, which is included in the ARRI SIGNATURE
PRIME lenses. Cameras with a PL mount can be refitted with a
LPL mount by ARRI service centers. A PL-to-LPL adapter offers
backwards compatibility with all PL mount lenses on camera side,
be they Super 35 or full frame. The adapter attaches securely
to the LPL lens mount without tools, allowing crews to rapidly
switch between PL and LPL lenses on set. Cinematographers
are therefore offered an unlimited lens choice, with complete lens
metadata accessible from LDS-2, LDS-1 or /i lenses.
The lens must be mounted in the 12 o'clock position to enable the
LDS functions. Take care not to damage the LDS contacts on the
lens and the camera when mounting or unmounting a lens or lens
port cover.
