Will it fit?

What lenses fit the ARRI ALEXA 35?

The short answer

The ARRI ALEXA 35 has an LPL mount and a Super 35 sensor. LPL lenses fit directly. PL lenses fit with an adapter. Canon EF, Canon FD, Leica M, Fujifilm G, Canon RF, L-Mount, Micro Four Thirds, Sony E, Fujifilm X and Nikon Z lenses can't be adapted to its LPL mount.

Every lens mount on the ARRI ALEXA 35

Fits directly

  • LPL lenses

    The camera's own mount — nothing extra needed.

Fits with an adapter

  • PL lenses

    Needs a PL-to-LPL adapter (ARRI's PL-to-LPL adapter).

No standard adapter

  • Nikon F lenses

    Physically possible, but there's no standard Nikon F-to-LPL adapter — ask the owner.

  • M42 lenses

    Physically possible, but there's no standard M42-to-LPL adapter — ask the owner.

Won't fit

  • Canon EF lenses

    A Canon EF lens needs to sit closer to the sensor than the LPL mount allows, so there's no room for an adapter.

  • Canon FD lenses

    A Canon FD lens needs to sit closer to the sensor than the LPL mount allows, so there's no room for an adapter.

  • Leica M lenses

    A Leica M lens needs to sit closer to the sensor than the LPL mount allows, so there's no room for an adapter.

  • Fujifilm G lenses

    A Fujifilm G lens needs to sit closer to the sensor than the LPL mount allows, so there's no room for an adapter.

  • Canon RF lenses

    A Canon RF lens needs to sit closer to the sensor than the LPL mount allows, so there's no room for an adapter.

  • L-Mount lenses

    A L-Mount lens needs to sit closer to the sensor than the LPL mount allows, so there's no room for an adapter.

  • Micro Four Thirds lenses

    A Micro Four Thirds lens needs to sit closer to the sensor than the LPL mount allows, so there's no room for an adapter.

  • Sony E lenses

    A Sony E lens needs to sit closer to the sensor than the LPL mount allows, so there's no room for an adapter.

  • Fujifilm X lenses

    A Fujifilm X lens needs to sit closer to the sensor than the LPL mount allows, so there's no room for an adapter.

  • Nikon Z lenses

    A Nikon Z lens needs to sit closer to the sensor than the LPL mount allows, so there's no room for an adapter.

Some cameras can have a different lens mount fitted by a technician. If a rental comes that way the listing will say so, and this table won't apply.

Sensor coverage

Lenses made for Super 35, full frame and large format cover its Super 35 sensor fully.

Lenses made for Super 16 and Micro Four Thirds throw a smaller image, so expect dark corners unless you shoot in a crop mode that matches.

Full-frame lenses on Super 35 frame tighter than their focal length suggests — a 50mm looks roughly like a 75mm on full frame.

Mounts and adapters are checked against flange distance and the adapters that are actually sold. Kits vary — if a pairing matters for your shoot, confirm it with the owner before you book.
