It's easy to find people complaining about vignetting and poor fits, so what should someone know before buying the adapter and lens? Which C Mount lenses are a good buy? What are the likely focal lengths available? What are the apertures? What's got the best bokeh? What are the manufacturers worth checking into?

Part of the fun of the ยต43 format is availability of lots of older lenses, but there's a serious dearth of centralized information on options to explore.

Are you shooting video or stills? Video is much less demanding on resolution so fast C mount lenses are a very attractive option – Matt Grum Jan 25 '11 at 23:35
Heh thanks @Nick for fix my typo. I blame autocorrect. :) – mattdm Dec 1 '11 at 14:28
Autocorrect usually replaces words with other words you type a lot. Do you type 'hoe' a lot? :-D – Nick Miners Dec 1 '11 at 15:40

Hi Grzegorz, and welcome to the forums. While we don't have any problem linking off-site content, as a general rule we prefer that the most relevant information, or a summary about what the off-site link is, be included in the answer. That makes the answer useful in and of itself, without requiring that viewers refer to another site (which may, at any time, be unavailable, temporarily or even permanently.) If you could fill in some more useful and relevant information about the spreadsheet and how it pertains to the question, that would be great! – jrista♦ Jan 26 '11 at 6:46
