Mostly consumer/prosumer film (depending how far you go back) and, indeed, TV cameras; high(er)-end cinema lenses usually had different mounts. As people often remark: C mount lenses are a minefield. Often you'll find utter and complete junk, especially because it became a de facto 'CCTV lens' mount (along with CS), but there are also some very good quality ones out there. But, beware, there's also the problem of variable sensor coverage. There are many C mount lenses that don't, for instance, cover a 1" sensor. This is problematic for modern-day ยต4/3 adaption and usage, unless you don't mind a gigantic vignette... - MG
