Thanks!

I have used a Yvar 36mm f2.8 D mount lens. It has good edge to edge sharpness, you can often find them on Bolex B8 cameras, sometimes in antique stores for about $30-50. They have a long throw so they are slow to focus (manual, of course) but do focus as close as 18 inches. See this YouTube video:
The chrome Cosmicar 25mm f1.4 (c mount) is another good lens, and fast. You can often find them under $40 on eBay. They are somewhat "glowy" wide open, but are very good stopped down a little.
