1/3" Bayonet Mount. 
I have this listed on amazon for 2,450$ if you are interested I will drop the price to 1,150$ for you to buy. (Now considering trades or partial trades)I will 2 day ship free of charge anywhere in cont. US from Florida
Purchased a couple of these for a project but only ended up using one. This is brand new in unopened JVC box.
"The design concept of the HZ-CA13U Cine Optical PL Adapter is a result of years of research consulting with filmmakers in identifying the main component most essential to digital cinematography, which has been universally identified as the film lens. To enable the use of film lenses with the ProHD line of camcorders, JVC optical engineers have implemented an all-optical relay system that takes the image from the lens and converts it to the proper proportion of the camcorder imager, preserving the depth of field (DoF) and field of view characteristics. The result is an optical tool that enables the use of 16mm, Super16 and 35mm film lenses with a PL mount with the JVC ProHD series of camcorders."
Compatibility The adapter will accommodate a wide range of lensing options, in particular the large implementation of existing 16mm film lenses. Super16mm and 35mm lenses can also be used with no vignetting in the image. As the construction is optics based there is minimal loss of light that is approximately 0.5f. Mounting and Security The 52mm focal plane is clearly marked as a groove on the barrel, and a 1/4" 20 screw hole at the base of the barrel allows the use of adapters for camera support systems.
