I have used both Pocket camera and Micro Cnema camera with Nikon mount lenses. What you need is the Metabones BMPCC/Nik Speed Booster (not the standard MFT version) for best results. Metabones also makes a non optical (dumb) MFT/NikG adapter also. The advantage,if the Speed Booster is a corrected anglwe of view that is expanded by x.58 p, so a 25mm Nikon lens behaves as a 14mm lens on the Pocket/Micro camera.
The biggest change is going to be getting used to a S16 size sensor, similar in gate size to your Arriflex, vs a full frame 35mm you get in a Nikon film camera. So the Speed Booster helps to level the playing field, in terms of angle of view. I also like to use my Super 16 lenses on the Micro Cinema camera, which adds 60 fps and improved rolling shutter control over the Pocket camera.
Also, the new Ursa Mini Pro has interchangeable lens mounts, for Nikon (dumb mount), Arri PL, and B4 in a addition to the EF mount it ships with. This would be your best bet, allowing you to use 16/S16 Arri PL lenses, B4 zooms (in HD and 2K window mode) as well as Nikon lenses (including G lenses).
