Canon VL is a lens mount for Hi-8 Analog Tape Camcorders from Canon. It was introduced in March 1991 with the Canon L1 camcorder. It was the first interchangeable camcorder lens system[1]. The VL mount was in turn superseded in 1998 by the XL Mount from the Canon XL1. They are most likely not compatible as the VL mount was designed for 1/2" sensors[2] while the XL Mount is for 1/3".[3]

VL Mount Accesories
[edit]Extender CL 2X
[edit]The extender can be put between any VL mount lens or lens adapter and the camera to double the magnification.[6] It originally came with a buttoned carrying pouch made of a leather-like material.
EOS Adapter VL
[edit]The EOS Adapter VL mounts onto any VL mount camera and enables usage of Canon EF Mount Lenses with a 5.4X focal length multiplication.[6] It uses a 2CR5 Battery to power it, most likely to convert the signaling between the camera and lens. It originally came with a buttoned carrying pouch made of a leather-like material.
