    Hello! I have been researching and accumulating C Mount lenses since 2009. I should know more than I do! I am willing to help you locate lenses and to suggest why some are unsuitable. M4/3 has been adopted as a mount on BlackMagic cameras. It is a great compromise mount with amazing lenses. Pat
