Century Optics LA-12BC C-Mount to 1/2 Bayonet Adapter | 0LA-12BC-00

Out on a film or video set, the moment comes when your C-mount lens needs to connect to a camera body with a 1/2-inch bayonet mount. Maybe it’s a legacy lens you’re adapting to a newer broadcast camera, or perhaps you’re working with a specialized cine setup that demands that specific interface. Without the right adapter, that lens is useless. That’s exactly where the Century Optics LA-12BC comes into play.

This adapter bridges the two mounting standards cleanly and securely. It’s machined to hold tight without introducing play or wobble, which matters when you’re pulling focus or adjusting the iris on a tight shot. The finish is straightforward and functional. You’ll click it on and get back to shooting. No fuss, no adapters that feel flimsy. For anyone maintaining a kit that mixes C-mount lenses with 1/2-inch bayonet cameras, this piece of gear solves a very specific problem. It keeps your workflow moving.
