NOTICE

Risk of damage and injury from improper lenses!
To ensure maximum allowable lens mounting depth, and to avoid damage or injury, always have

your camera shimmed correctly.
LPL mount lenses with more than 18.00 mm mounting depth and PL mount lenses with more

than 38.50 mm mounting depth might damage internal filters and the camera. Shards from

broken filter glass might cause injury. Always check the lens mounting depth before mounting or

changing a lens.

11.4 Changing the Lens Mount

The ALEXA Mini LF is equipped with a universal lens mount base that uses the same camera to lens

mount interface as used on the ALEXA Mini and AMIRA, so all lens mounts that fit on ALEXA Mini and

AMIRA will physically also fit on the ALEXA Mini LF. However, since most of those lens mounts have

been designed for a Super 35 sensor, they will show vignetting in larger format.

Required Tools and Precautions

3.0 mm Allen key
Camera switched off and power source disconnected
Lens removed and properly stored
Make sure to protect all optical surfaces when changing a lens mount
