It looks like an ARRI bayonet mount.

You would need PL Mount Adapter for ARRI Bayonet mount lenses

Thanks Sanjin
I'll send them an email, but I find $400-500 a bit pricey (I got a set of four lenses), really would like to know if they are some cheaper options out there...
 
I got this one http://dvcity.com/dve/index.php?cPath=65
it arrived to Greece in one week from india, fit is just right and all I had to do is visit a hardware shop to get the exact screws to fit my lens.
It works just fine for me.
 
People, please be a little more careful with these mounts. The ones you have all linked to are made of brass and have a nickel coating. These mounts are horrible.
Why do you think every professional lens manufacturer uses stainless steel...
Brass is soft and easy to damage. You're only asking for trouble with cheap mounts.
I have a customer right now that has a very nice set of zeiss primes that we are servicing, but we cannot get them to hold focus and require machining that would have been cheaper just to get a proper mount.
Don't put sugar in your car's engine and don't use cheap brass for your lenses mount.
 
I got one of these from ebay. Stainless steel, easy to remove and install and works well. Seller is a bit strange though, he sells them for all different prices so best to wait until a good price comes by.

I also have a Indian brass one. It needed sanding on the inside to make it fit on my lens and it is quite roughly made. In the end it worked okay on a small first generation Zeiss but since you seem to have nice lenses I wouldn't go that way.

Thanks Sander
I put a bid on it few hours ago and was just wondering about the quality.
Glad to hear it works for you.
