Will it fit?

What lenses fit the Phantom Flex4K?

The short answer

The Phantom Flex4K has a PL mount and a Super 35 sensor. PL lenses fit directly. LPL, Canon EF, Nikon F, Canon FD, M42, 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 PL mount.

What the Phantom Flex4K asks of a lens

The sensor
Super 35, 4K, built for around a thousand frames a second — a high-speed camera first and last.
What to put on it
Native PL. At these frame rates you are desperately short of light, so the fastest S35 glass you can get is the right answer, not the sharpest.
A pairing that works
The fastest S35 PL glass available — Zeiss Super Speeds, Master Primes. At a thousand frames a second, a stop is everything.
What it gets booked for
Product hero shots, sport, and effects work built around slow motion.
Worth knowing
Exposure is the whole problem. A T2.1 prime and a lot of light beats a T4 zoom every time at 1000fps.

Every lens mount on the Phantom Flex4K

Fits directly

  • PL lenses

    The camera's own mount — nothing extra needed.

Won't fit

  • LPL lenses

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

  • Canon EF lenses

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

  • Nikon F lenses

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

  • M42 lenses

    A M42 lens needs to sit closer to the sensor than the PL 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 PL 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 PL 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 PL 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 PL 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 PL 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 PL 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 PL 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 PL 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.
