Hello everyone,

Anyone know if there is such a thing and where/how to find one. I tried searching the web, but no luck as of yet. I want to be able to use my Pentax K lenses with my Arriflex S 16 camera. The camera has ARRI mounts. I've got a zoom and a couple primes that I am dying to use with it. Anyone know of such a mount., ARRI mount to Pentax K? Thanks everyone.
 
Sorry to have bad news. The flange distance of the Pentax K lens is shorter than the flange distance of the Arriflex camera, meaning the lens cannot get close enough to the film to focus. This is true for all 35mm SLR lenses (Canon Nikon etc) not just the Pentax.

Adapters are available to use 35mm SLR lenses on c mount camera's like Beaulieu's etc/
 
Well, I am back from the drawing board :)

I guess I could just use a 35mm adapter(M2) with my lense(prime) on the turret and use the Pentax lenses that way.
