It is possible, you would need a "D" Mount to "C" Mount Adapter, which is not very common, then a "C" Mount to the mount of your camera.

 

Please note, the latter part may not even be possible because of the restrictions involved in using "C" Mount lenses on 35mm photographic cameras, because of their mount design differences, not all 35mm cameras have an adapter out there to use "C"Mount lenses.

 

And I have to re-iterate what David said, even if you have all necessary adapters, the amount of vignetting would be staggering. If I am thinking corrcectly, you would closer to exposing 1/4 of the image area, because "D" Mount is half of 16mm which is a little less than half of 35mm.

 

The first place to start, however, is to find out if your camera will accept "C"Mount adapters. If so, find a good one. Then look for the "D" Mount to "C" Mount adapter. They are rare, bu they are out there.

 

Good Luck.

 

Sincerely, Respectfully,
