On the subject of Cine lenses, I can't believe that these are C mount 
lenses, as that is a very limited market. I understand that some are doing 
commercial production on super-16, but that's really small and limited. I 
know that there have been movies shot on super-16, which is the 16mm 
equivilent of super-8, but only a few. I can't imagine that a C mount lens 
could cover 35, as I tried it with a C to Nikon adapter when I was shooting 
TV newsfilm in the seventies.

C mount is REALLY small.
