This Tilta Nucleus Autofocus Adapter and Motor Kit Can Modernize Your Vintage Lenses

The Tilta Nucleus Autofocus Adapter Kit

As a solution for Sony E-mount shooters looking to use vintage PL-mount lenses (or other high-end PL lenses) with the Sony FX3, FX6, or FX30 cinema cameras, the Tilta Nucleus Autofocus Adapter kit is an immediate top option.

Designed to bring out the best of Sony’s autofocus system, the kit includes a Sony E to ARRI PL-mount lens autofocus adapter, a 15mm rod adapter, two 15mm rods, a USB-C to 7-pin LEMO-type power cable, and a USB-C dual-motor Y-cable.

The goal is to help videographers use Sony's real-time face tracking and eye autofocus with one of your favorite PL-mount cine lenses.

Advanced AF Capabilities and Lens Data

What we’re most excited about for Sony shooters with this new option from Tilta is how easy it will make switching between manual and autofocus modes in the Nucleus ecosystem. It will help you quickly take control of precise focus pulls or racks when needed.

In addition to the various shooting options, the adapter features a built-in lens library that lets shooters select the right lens type for sharing lens data. This lens data is helpful because it can be shared directly with your device via the adapter's built-in storage, which can be accessed with a Nucleus II or Nano II handwheel.

The result is a lens that can be fully manually calibrated and saves the calibration to the internal lens library for easy access whenever needed.
