PL to EOS Adapter

Steven Blye said:
I'll be buying 2 Scarlets with the Canon Mount before the end of the year. It won't be the PL mount due to the price so I was looking into PL to EOS adapters.

I found this one:

Anyone had any experience with this adapter or can recommend any others?

Much appreciated

Just a recommendation and no disrespect to KCW, but I think you need to buy 2 lens adapters to fit most lens, depending on flange distance, etc. If you buy two, you are spending 50% of the cost of the Titanium mount PL from RED. RED is built much better, and securely mounted. It is not aluminum which may matter on a heavy lens and PL glass. Also, RED has the electronics for Cookes & others which can be extremely valuable. It is rock solid, and the PL from KCW as an adapter will not feel as snug because it isn't secured directly like REDs. It doesn't seem like $1000 savings overall outweighs the benefits of going with a RED PL mount. Just my 2 cents.
