I wonder if anyone has successfully mounted a lens like this to their 5D2:

Any pointers or suggestions highly appreciated.

I believe c-mount can only be used on mirrorless cameras. There is a c/y mount zeiss in a similar focal length that is rated as one of the best zoom lenses that will work.

A pointer to where I can find such a Zeiss..?

This is an old East German Zeiss Jena video lens.

A f2 18-90mm FF35 lens would be a large piece of glassware, you can tell from the C mount that this is smaller zoom lens. It might just cover Super16, but I suspect nothing larger.
