PL is still an often-used lens mount. Two different mounts in Russia were for Medium Format Photography Lenses. Salut-88 and Kiev 60. I have found both adapters can be adapted to PL and to EF, however, Kiev-60 has the advantage of being able to be made into a tilt/shift lens when adapted to EF with the right kind of adapter. So for that reason, I bought an entire set of Kiev 60 Medium format lenses from Fisheye to Telephoto that can all be mounted in either PL or EF as a Tilt/Shift.
I assume most will value this set as being adaptable to PL than it being Tilt/Shift adaptable. I personally find that having tilt/shift is great for the fisheye and then just the tilt is fine for the 45, 65 and 80. The more telephoto the lens, the less noticeable the tilt-cinematography is going to be. I find that having tilt/shift control over a fisheye is quite a cool realm of control.

These lenses are all f2.8 and f3.5. As medium format lenses are usually slower, because they cover a larger portion of a film gate-digital sensor. So your depth of field will decrease as your sensor gets larger.
They have a fairly consistent look of clear flares and amber colors. For camera men shooting on PL only. Such as the Red One and the Arri Classic. These will be a very nice and more affordable option to filming on ergonomically-cine made photo lenses from Russia. These lenses are all good full-frame options as well, althought I have only seen a bit of vignetting on the 300mm f4.5. That lens has diffraction, which is not too good for photography, but I think it looks quite great for cinema. Diffraction is an imperfection I am rather fond of where the bokeh in the background doesn't look smooth; but rather hard. It is also accompanied by swirly bokeh!
The Petzvar lens is a rare lens that I see as very similar to a Helios 58mm because it has swirly bokeh, however the color/colour tinge of the lens opens up a lavender palette. The bokeh is the most exceptional part about this lens, but the colors also lean toward a very historic or even political look.
Each lens has different imperfections that make them each unique.
