LENSES
This section describes lenses that are compatible with the RED RANGER Shimmed PL Mount. Other lenses and lens
mounts may be used with the RED RANGER, but may cause focus accuracy issues.
To avoid vignetting, use standard full frame PL mount lenses.
NOTE: Lenses are hot swappable.
LENS WEIGHT AND LENS SUPPORT
Use a lens support system when mounting heavy or long lenses to your camera.
When mounting a heavy or long lens, ensure that the full weight of the lens is never directly on the camera or lens
mount. Mount the lens to the support system first, and then carefully mount the lens to the camera.
WARNING: Failure to use lens supports appropriate for the lens and camera setup may lead to damage of the camera
and lens mount. Any damage caused by not using a lens support system is not covered under warranty.
POSITIVE LOCK (PL) LENSES
This section describes the appropriate method for attaching and detaching PL lenses. For more information, refer to the
original manufacturer’s instructions. This section also lists lenses supported by the camera PL mounts.
WARNING: ALWAYS protect your equipment, when it is not in use, by replacing lens caps and mount caps.
ATTACH PL LENSES
1. Rotate the locking ring counter-clockwise to release the camera mount cap.
2. Remove the rear lens cap and the camera mount cap.
3. Align the key and contact pads (if present) on the PL lens with the key and connector pins on the camera PL mount.
4. Insert the lens into the camera PL mount.
5. Rotate the locking ring clockwise to secure the lens in place.
DETACH PL LENSES
1. Rotate the locking ring counter-clockwise to release the PL lens.

CAMERA PL MOUNT SUPPORTED LENSES
The RED PL lens mount is compatible with most standard PL mount cinema lenses and devices.
WARNING: Using a non-standard PL mount lens or device with a camera PL mount may damage the camera and lens
mount. Any damage caused by not using a standard PL mount lens or device is not covered under warranty.
