The only problem, for me, is that so can everyone else with a micro 4\/3 camera<\/strong>. A few years ago you couldn\u2019t give away your dusty old Bolex lens<\/a>, now it sells for a couple hundred dollars on eBay. There’ a finite supply of these lenses (meaning all the vintage glass that’s going to be made has already been made), and as more and more amazing micro 4\/3 cameras<\/strong> come on the market, the demand for lenses is greater. Now’s the time to start snatching them up before prices get too high!<\/strong><\/p>\n My first stop is always Vintage Lenses for Video<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span>While not exclusively 16mm C-Mount for micro 4\/3s<\/strong>, they cover all manner of vintage lenses coupled to all manner of digital camera. This site is filled with reviews, anecdotes, and footage from an astonishing array of lenses. You will also see more flare-filled, slow-motion European street footage than anywhere else on the internet. I also follow this site on Twitter<\/a> since it\u2019s always pointing to interesting lenses on eBay.<\/p>\n Which brings me to eBay, the internet\u2019s perpetual garage sale. Like a garage sale, you\u2019ll find incredible bargains, as well as amazingly overpriced ripoffs. The secret is due diligence. Research what you can about the lens you want and take a look at the prices the lenses are going for. Don\u2019t just jump in when you see the perfect $1500 Angenieux<\/a> zoom… if you track the auctions for a few days, you’ll likely be able to pick one up for just a few hundred dollars. And then you’ll get to shoot footage like this:<\/p>\n![\"Using](\"https:\/\/pbblogassets.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2015\/08\/OG-BOLEX-FOR-ARTICLE.jpg\" "\\"Using")
