It would likely require a hard front with one mount. But why do it? PL mount lenses are pricey, and there’s a lot of good glass in Arri Mount. Besides, the 16S isn’t Super 16, so you are putting a lot of money into a camera that would be hard to sell. (If that matters to you.)
Converting a 16S to S16 is difficult. I’d be wary of most repair people who claim they can do it.
