Re: 24/28/30mm lens options

C Mount is not very widely known, although there is a range of different lenses out there. The good news is that most of them are relatively cheap. You can get lenses from the likes of Cooke, Angenieux, Kodak, Schneider or etc... which are all big name cinema lens producers. Unfortunately or fortunately as the case may be, 16mm got tarred with the low budget brush.

Although you can tell that to the producers of Requiem for a Dream all you like. One of the all time greatest movies, shot on 16mm.

As a side note, even Pulp Fiction was going to be shot on 16mm until Holywood picked it up.
