Of course you CAN use them since they hace c-mount, BUT since they are made for max. 2/3" sesnors, they will only cover a fraction of your camera's sensor. Don't forget that you need a 21mm image diameter for full sensor coverage!!

You got it!

I came across some lenses for 1/3 CCTV, these were CS mounts with a slightly shorter register than C mount and only good for macro work.

Did you check out the other discussion on the Manual Focus Lens section?

I agree, there are several Japanese companies making fast CCTV lenses and this looks like their own OEM version with a m4/3 mount.

The 1" format it should be ok. I noticed this too:

VFA5095H 50.0mm F0.95 Manual $897.00

Specs just like the Noktor Wink and even more expensive!!

There are two Pentax 25mm 1.4, one 2/3, another 1'' format. Both around less than $100, the 1'' one is back ordered in B&H though.

There is a review here, not sure if this is 2/3 or 1''

With a tip from apicius9 I am getting the 1'' soon Razz

O and here's a google doc made by some other forums' member on the coverage of some C-lens

http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=p9kkgjwEQQQ-HJwvNDobeEw

Looks like most shorter than 25mm do not have full coverage of the m4/3 sensor

Saw some shots from the Noktor

The lens' bokeh doesn't suit me and seems very low contrast when there's light sources in the picture as in some shots within the series above.

I would rather save and pay a little more money to buy a CV Nokton 50/1.1 instead.

It was a pretty nice idea anyway, taking a lower cost TV lens and re-market is as a high-end manual m4/3 lens.

There's a poll on the Noktor site asking which lens mount they should make next. EF is winning by a landslide. How they plan to cover a FF sensor with these should be interesting.
