G'day everyone, I've just borrowed a kit of Arri super16 primes and was wondering if anyone has used these. I may be able to hang onto these indefinitely so any feedback would be welcome.

How would it be adapted to the M4/3 mount? Some lens adapters don't work on the JVC for structural reasons.

I have a bunch of CA-1, (Eclair), Aaton and Arri Std mount lenses, and have found good adapters to MFT for all of them on-line... I'm not familiar with Arri S16 primes (my legacy lenses are all zooms) but I will say that the set of new Rokinon primes I bought on sale at B&H are terrific and were probably a lot less money -

I got the Rokinons with MFT mounts, which was a mistake because MFT mount pro cameras are going the way of the dodo bird... So now I'd get EF mount and good adapters.

Since you've borrowed the lenses, none of that matters, but I would be interested to hear how the Arris look if you find an adapter...
