Hi all,

I've a faboulous Arri Zeiss 10-100 mm f1:1.8 for 16mm filming, I like to know how to understand what type of mount it has, if standard or PL and if there is an adapter for some type of camera sensors, like 4/3 or else.

I will like to try it for photos....

Any suggestion?

It's like this

if it's 16 mm you can try it on micro 4/3.

I wish will be possible,

but, why 35mm FF it's called like that? if measure 36 x 24mm

I found 16mm film measure


and the 4/3 sensor it's 17.3 x 13mm

oohhh ....it will not fit? Rolling Eyes

it will have vigneting most probably - how much depends from the focal lengt and the lens.

On the wide end you will see the image circle on black background.

nice avatar Zupremous, have you a bigger version

don't care too much about the 16mm
4/3 is a crop of 35mmm
35mm is a crop of MF, etc...
just crop the good part from the 4/3 sensor and share with us
even if you end with a 40-400 1.8, it still interesting

Wow Attila!

No idea, show us rear part of lens, we have a couple of members who have better knowledge than I have so hopefully they will able to answer for sure. More picture is essential for decision.

I think adoptable with a brand new metal part , question is who is able to do it professionally. I read Ebay seller from Italy who has converted C mount lenses professionally. Unfortunately our sources who did conversions for us all are gone.
