The flange back of the EOS is 44mm.
The C-mount has a flange back of 17.526 mm.
The flange back of a single-lens reflex camera is quite long, so care must be taken to fit it.
It is possible to attach a lens for an SLR camera to a C-mount camera, but an offset of 44-17mm is required to focus.
On the other hand, if you want to attach a C-mount lens to a single-lens reflex camera, there is a commercially available SLR mount to C-mount adapter.
With this adapter, you can physically attach a C-mount lens to your SLR.
However, SLR cameras generally have a larger sensor size compared to industrial cameras, so C-mount lenses may not be a good fit. Therefore, it is generally not recommended.
