Old lenses - Any idea what to do with them?

Hello again,
I own a canon yh16x7 lens and a fujinon s14x7 lens from my Panasonic DVC200. Can I use them in any way? Are they capable of HD Video, if so should I invest some money for them or just leave them as they are? I was wondering if I should sell them, but they seem old and they were my first lenses, so I'd rather keep them.

Ok, just a quick update. So I bought an adapter, just for the shake of science for my samsung nx500 to a PL mount. So right now, im using the canon lens, including the adapter
This one:

The results are OK, since its an SD lens, but I was wondering if it is possible to power the lens (to use the handle zoom) using that 8 pin I used to hook up on my dvc200. Are there any adapters out there that will help me do it?
 
AbelCine makes a cable, but are you sure it's HRS8? I know the 2/3" standard is HRS12.

If Abeldoesn't have a ready-made cable they could likely make you a custom one. Note that you'll need a P-Tap power source for the zoom rocker.
