I'm curious where the writer has ever seen a C-mount lens without aperture adjustments. I have been collecting and dealing in this equipment for over 40 years, and have neither seen nor heard of such a lens.

I am reluctant to edit the main entry because I'm not sure what the writer has in mind, but he seems to be writing in English as a second language, so there are a few things that lack clarity. I'm not sure what he means by survey cameras; perhaps surveillance cameras? It would also be well to define or describe the CS mount that is mentioned, as it is one I have never heard of, though if it is new and limited to surveillance use, that would not be surprising.
