What is a 'C' mount lens?

Hi,

Was trawling through fleabay looking at whats on offer and came across this:

F1 aperture and Canon C mount. I remember reading something about a lens similar to this a while ago on this forum but can't remember much about it and can't find it now.

Obviously I have no intention of buying it as if I don't know what it is then I can't need it (plenty of things on my list ending in L that I do want :rolleyes.

Just wondered if any of the knowledgeable gents of POTN could point me in the right direction to find out more about it?


Thanks, Steve

I believe, if my rusty memory serves me correctly, that a C-mount is a movie camera lens mount.
