Yes, those can be adapted. You'd need an adapter like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ARRI-B-ARRI...ens_Adapters_Mounts_Tubes&hash=item4abec5d9c1
Note: don't get an "Arri Standard" adapter, because that can't take bayonet lenses. The Arri Bayonet adapter can take both standard and bayonet, so it's the better adapter to get.

Here's another Ebay possibility: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Schneider-K...ens_Adapters_Mounts_Tubes&hash=item3a6b3b8f89
I'm very interested in trying this out with a GH3 once I get mine in ETC mode. It's more for sentimentality, but it's great to be able use a 10-150mm 15x zoom with a microforce zoom control.

I love that guy's adapters, I've been using one of his Canon FD units for a couple years now, but I don't think his Arri bayonet design is the best. FWIW I think there has been an Arri B-to-PL solution around for years, maybe I'm wrong on this but I think I remember using one on a job with an Arri SR back in the film days, rock solid.
OK, not sure exactly what you mean. Are you saying I should use a m4/3 to PL and a PL to Arriflex?

That is what I would do, but then I already have a PL adapter. I've come close to buying a couple of Arri B lenses over the past year, some of the Zeiss's are a pretty good value depending on condition. Arri IIs and IIIs were the MOS camera for a long time and there is a lot of cool glass in Arri B mount floating around out there.
