I got this vintage Sony C-mount 25mm TV lens cheap on Ebay and tried it out on the Canon M50 in 4K video mode. It was a cloudy day in Brooklyn, but I'm still pretty happy with the results.
The M50's 2.56 crop-factor while in 4K mode makes it compatible with a wide range of C-mount lenses, which were designed for older 16mm and TV cameras.
Aperture and Focus are fully manual. If, like me you're used to EF lenses and strong Peaking, focusing this little lens in real time is a real challenge. Hence my less-than-graceful attempts at rack-focusing.
Note: When using a lens/adapter setup such as this, you may have to go into the M50's Custom Functions menu and enable "Release shutter w/o lens"
