p.1 #1 · c-mount lens resolution

hi fellow FMers.
Does anyone know what resolutions c-mount lenses are capable of? I know they are used in lower-rez video cameras, and wonder what their ability would be on the E-P1.
In particular, this one would be very useful to me becasue on the OLY it would be the equivelant of a 25m 1.4.

The lens is priced at $200 and there are no similar optics in the still image arena either at that speed or price. Am I missing something here? I goggled the topis for a bit and could not find any true opinions on this, but given this group's affinity for different options, I figured it's a good place to ask.

Any leads to previous FM threads O might have missed would be greatly appreciated.

best and thank you, George.

Don't know about resolution, but I would expect vignetting, especially from a wide angle. Still, if somebody tries this or any c-mount lens, post your results!

This pic of the 12mm on the G1 shows vignetting.
