Best C-mount Prime Lenses for Eclair NPR

[Benjamin Bosko]

Hi, I've got an Eclair Npr with a Angenieux 12-120 zoom but I was looking for some c-mount primes to use.  I'm still very new to this and I didn't want to worry about getting an adapter for other lens mounts. I was hoping some of you might have a few Prime C-mount lenses that are favorites.  I don't have a big budget, and I'm shooting for lenses that are faster than the f2.2 Zoom. I might have missed a prior thread in the forum but I didn't see one. Thanks for any help.

Berthiot Cinor might suit a French camera. They’re totally neglected and therefore cheaply available. The seven-elements f/1.5 Cinor from 1935 will surprise you.

Then you have Kinoptik, expensive, Hermagis, and Angénieux.

If you want to investigate American lenses, the brands are Bausch & Lomb, Wollensak, ILEX, Graf, Gundlach, Kodak, Elgeet, Century, Zoomar, Veydra.

Of course, old-timers need to be serviced.
