“The H-8 REX adopted a turret that used the same 1" diameter thread of C mount lenses, but with an optical distance between lens seat and film plane of 15.305 mm.”

C-Mount standard flange focale distance: 17.526 mm
C-Mount H8 RX flange focale distance: 15.305 mm

The images will be completely blurred. Except with a Schneider-Kreuznach zoom position in macro, by setting the macro ring to ensure that it is sharp in the viewfinder. So it would be difficult to use.

Well, I see I've got another bad idea whose time has come. Thanks for the input.
