C Mount Lens MUST HAVES for Micro Four Thirds or Nikon 1 Shooters

C Mount Lens MUST HAVES for Micro Four Thirds or Nikon 1 Shooters

In this video, I test and compare three popular budget C-mount CCTV lenses — the Fujian 25mm, Fujian 35mm, and Sodial 35mm — to see how they perform when adapted to Micro Four Thirds cameras or the Nikon 1 system (J1, J2, S1, V1, and V2).

These compact vintage-style lenses have gained a cult following among creative shooters for their unique character, dreamy bokeh, and surprisingly sharp results for the price. But how do they really hold up in real-world use?

In this hands-on test, I discuss:

Image quality, sharpness & colour rendering
Bokeh and depth of field performance
Build quality
Adapting C-mount lenses to Micro Four Thirds or Nikon 1 cameras
Real-world shooting examples & comparisons

Whether you’re shooting video or stills, experimenting with vintage glass, or looking for an affordable creative lens setup, this video will help you decide which C-mount lens gives you the best results for your style.

Let me know in the comments which lens surprised you most — and if you’ve used these lenses yourself!
