I'm new to this. Excuse me :)

Are there any adaptors for ARRI IIC mounts to PL?
I guess the standard ARRI to PL mounts doesn't work...

Do one need to re-house a IIc lens?

This question is just all wrong. 2C is in Arri Standard mount and sometimes has an arri bayonet mount in the mix. You can convert the 2C to hard pl mount. Now to switch a lens that is a 2C lens, well you could use the mount you pictured if it is standard mount but you could not rehouse the lens with it.

OK, thanks! Let me refrace.

Sorry for me being unprecise. Cine-lens mounts differences are completely new to me, admittedly!

Those mount adapters you listed would not be my first choice as they rely on set screws hitting the grove in the Arri standard mount on just the right side to hold the PL mount flush to the standard mounts seating surface. This is not a very sercure fitting solution. Something like this one listed below or one similar would be a much better choice and would allow for use on Arri standard mount and the Arri S/B (stainless bayonet) type mounts with better precision.

One more thought. If the lens mount on any Arri standard mount lens rotates when focused it will not work with the set screw adapters. You could use one like that with the adapter I listed as you could loosen the mounting ring slightly to focus the lens to a given distance and then lock it down but you could not pull focus that way.

Forgot this one, it's good also.
