Dear Canon,
I recently purchased an Angenieux 25mm f/.95 lens on ebay not realizing that it was made with a c-mount for a 16mm movie camera. Could you please make a digital camera for me to put it on? It seems that there are lots of little lenses like this around, not very expensive and very wide and fast. The new camera would need to be a rangefinder because I have learned that the c-mount lenses usually come quite close to the film, no room for a mirror. It would be good to have some kind of focus confirmation like you did way back on the AL-1. These lenses don't cover 35mm but they should be able to cover a 3 to 5mp chip. A G2 with c-mount would do just fine.
Thank you,
