The Horseman 110mm f/5.6 Super-Symmar XL Lens is a Schneider 110mm f/5.6 Super-Symmar XL with a standard Copal #1 shutter, but built into a Horseman-specific helical focusing mount and barrel assembly made to fit upon their SW617 Professional medium format panoramic camera. It provides a wide angle perspective on the 617 Professional that's roughly equivalent to the view of a 27mm lens in 35mm terms; pleasantly wide, but not distorting the spatial relationships of objects in a scene. A built-in lens guard helps protect the sensitive optics.

The Schneider Super-Symmar XL 110 is an aspherical wide-field lens design which gives extremely high peak contrast and resolving power when stopped down to at least f/11. Its 80° of coverage and 186mm minimum image circle do permit use with the 617 Professional at the maximum aperture if needed, however. The 6 element/4 group aspherical has a 105° viewing angle and a 288mm peak image circle, allowing plenty of shift with the 617 Professional.

Q: 6. Can I use this lens with Canon C500 PL? Any recommend adapter?

A: Unfortunately no, you cannot. The C500 PL is designed to take lenses that are designed to work on cameras with reflex mirrors. Thus the lens is further away from the sensor whether there is a mirror present or not. On the other hand, Sony E mount lenses and cameras have no mirrors thus they can take advantage of that fact and mount the lens close to the sensor saving weight, design compromises and cost. (You can use, with an adapter, PL lenses on Sony E mount cameras.) Now if by some manner you were to attach a Sony E Mount lens to the C500 PL, the image could only be focused somewhere in front of the sensor. This of course means the image would be out of focus as far as the sensor and you are concerned.
