Using bolex bayonet mount with C mount glass? (w/ adapter)

Hi guys just wondering if there's any issues with breathing or achieving sharp IQ,

The bayonet mount optics options are great but very travel unfriendly, looking to grab a few Kern/Switars or Scheider primes in C mount RX use glass to use with a EBM or similar, but with a c mount adapter to keep size down, mainly for shooting abroad etc, the POE 16-100mm is lovely but its huge and heavy so looking for some smaller optics to use.

Just wondering if there's any focal plane issues as I believe the C mount Bayonet adapter gets the lens on the same focal plane as the bayonet would be sitting? Just by looking not technically.

Any recommendations that won't blow the bank account up? 

Thanks ahead

Or alternatively if anyone could recommend a good native bayonet mount small ish lens, effective 35mm focal length around 30/35mm would be good. 

Saw a guy using a bolex bayonet mount to cmount adapter. then a cmount to canon fd mount adapter by viltrox on his SBM, to use some FD glass which I have so that's a option also.

Or of course some C mount Angenuix is out there, some nice small ish zooms like the 17-68mm f2.2 although a little pricey. 

Not sure if they have corrected optics so they can be used with no focus issues with the RX models.

Any views welcome.
