mft lenses & adaptors

I have aquired a lumix gh5 and looking at old cine lenses some seem very nice have such as some c mount Schneider Kreuznach 1,8/8-48mm Variogon have seen some for old 16mm with C or CS mount which I think is the same.
Is it possible also to use D mount which is 8mm though I cant see any adaptors for them though adaptors for d mount to pentax? but not not MFT
Is it possible to use D mount and are there any adaptors available.
These lenses are of course much cheaper than new cine lenses which have eye watering price tags so would be interested to know.

Hi David - yes you can!

D to C - then you can get a cheap C to Mft Adapter:

Hope that helps - and would love to know how they go.. I have a GH5s :)
