Exactly what I said.go on, let's share the wealth comrades!
I keep missing out on lenses, then I read people's posts saying how many they've got! Meanwhile the prices seem to have escalated....
Turns out, except for a couple nice older 12.5mm f1.4 silver Cosmicars (the kind you can actually focus at infinity) the stuff was rubbish. Kodak zooms of a name I've never heard, made for 1/3-1/2" sensors. I feel better!You can easily avoid that trouble for yourself by giving a link to that "supplier" so that any interested party would clean out that supply.

Rich, I did not know that the older Cosmicar 12.5/1.4 was not rubbish.Turns out, except for a couple nice older 12.5mm f1.4 silver Cosmicars (the kind you can actually focus at infinity) the stuff was rubbish. Kodak zooms of a name I've never heard, made for 1/3-1/2" sensors. I feel better!
The Cosmicar seems to work pretty well, though it does vignette.
Sure, there are quite a few out there really cheap which can easily compete which much more expensive ones - that was one reason to show some others.As long as these circular images forming lenses cost about the same (or less) as a c-mount adapter they are worth playing around with unless a (even) smaller sensored cam is available for them to be used.
