Leitz Cine’s new LPL Mount for Sony VENICE Extension System Mini offers maximum flexibility for this versitile new camera system. Paired with Leitz’s LPL to PL Adapter, the new Leitz LPL Mount provides a solution where rental houses and productions using professional lenses never have to change mounts again. The Sony VENICE Extension System Mini, (aka RIALTO Mini,) is said to be 70% smaller than the previous Rialto system and uses a different system than the VENICE/BURANO mounts attaching directly to the camera body with four screws, protecting the E mount underneath and providing rigid, reliable support for larger cine lenses using native LPL mounts. The Leitz LPL to PL Adapter locks into the LPL mount, creating a secure and stable solution for PL-mount lenses. Both mounts feature metadata contacts for passing /i metadata from lenses to the camera.

Leitz LPL Mounts are designed to accommodate all lenses, including rehoused vintage rangefinder lenses and lenses using rear filters, which often impact and are incompatible with other LPL mounts. The mount and adapter are made of high-grade aluminum with stainless steel mounts. Using the Leitz LPL Mount for Sony VENICE Extension System Mini means never having to change mounts again.  The list price of the LPL Mount with LPL to PL Adapter is €2,880, (currently $3,097.21 USD,) and will begin shipping July 2025.
