Hello, I was just wondering if there was a bayonet mount adapter for the GH1? My school has many nice Zeiss bayonet lenses for 16mm film, so it would be very nice to simply be able to use those lenses rather than having to buy an entire set of my own.

Also, I know this question probably could have been answered if I had the link to the website that listed all of the adapters. But I can't seem to find it! Does anyone have it?

Thanks!
 
You mean Arri Bayonet? I think there might be. Be aware that any lens for 16mm film may result in serious vignetting on the GH1. Usually lenses with focal lengths longer than, say, 35mm should cover, but when you go below 35mm the chances for vignetting increase.
 
Yes Arri Bayonet. I was indeed aware of the vignetting, but I still want to find the adapter so I can do some tests. I suppose I should check Ebay.

Would it be Arri Bayonet to Micro 4/3 adapter?
 
There are a few:
-Arri standard (not many if any Zeiss lenses), mainly Schneiders, early Cookes, Angenieux
-Arri bayonett
-PL mount

If the lenses are 35mm cine, you'll be right. If they are for 16mm, you might be lucky with some.
 
That looks like an Arri Standard mount adapter. Wouldn't work for bayonet; Arri Bayonet mount can accomodate Arri Standard, but not the other way around.
