Tilta Nucleus Autofocus Adapter & Dual Nano II Motor Kit Rental in Thailand
Put Sony Autofocus on Your Vintage PL Cinema Lenses
For years cinematographers had to choose:
- Modern Sony autofocus with photo lenses.
- Beautiful vintage PL cinema lenses with manual focus.
The Tilta Nucleus Autofocus Adapter changes that.
Designed for the Sony FX3, FX30 and FX6, the system uses Sony’s native autofocus data and translates it to Nucleus motors, allowing compatible PL cinema lenses to benefit from Sony’s face tracking and eye autofocus technology.
This means you can shoot with:
- ARRI Zeiss Standard Speeds
- Blazar Mantis Anamorphics
- Laowa 12mm
- Sony Cine Alta
- Vintage PL rehoused lenses
- Modern PL cinema lenses
while maintaining autofocus capabilities previously only available with native electronic lenses.
Why Bangkok Filmmakers Care
Until now, using vintage PL lenses on an FX3 meant:
- Manual focus only
- Dedicated focus puller
- Difficult gimbal operation
- Challenging face tracking shots
With the Tilta Autofocus Adapter, your FX3 can use:
- Real-Time Eye AF
- Face Detection AF
- Subject Tracking AF
while driving PL cinema lenses through Nucleus motors.
For many productions, this is the first practical way to combine:
Sony autofocus + vintage cinema glass.
Perfect Match For Our Zeiss Standard Speed Set
One of the most exciting applications is pairing the adapter with our:
ARRI Zeiss Standard Speed T2.1 Set
(16mm, 24mm, 32mm, 50mm, 85mm)
Instead of sacrificing character for autofocus, crews can now shoot with classic vintage Zeiss rendering while taking advantage of Sony autofocus technology.
For:
- music videos
- commercials
- fashion films
- travel films
- documentaries
- gimbal work
this combination can dramatically speed up production.

A New Tool For Focus Pullers
This isn’t designed to replace a 1st AC.
It’s designed to give the focus puller another tool.
Tilta specifically designed the system so operators can switch between autofocus operation and traditional Nucleus control when needed.
For interviews, walk-and-talks, gimbal shots, vehicle work, and fast-moving productions, autofocus can handle tracking while the focus puller remains ready to take over instantly.
