[Konvas] Bolex reflex lens? (off-topic)

I have a friend that's wants to do a shoot this summer. He will be
shooting in HD, but wants to rent one of my 16mm cameras for a certain
shot. He wants something that can go high speed for one of those
slow-motion effects to make a punch look very cliché, kinda like in the
old Rocky films (it's a comedy). Btw: Can anyone tell me what kind of
frame rates they were doing to shoot those punches? I was thinking about
120-150fps?
I'm not in a hurry, since the shoot is this summer, but I'm looking for
an inexpensive c-mount through-the-lens-viewing lens (like the old
non-reflex Bolex cameras sometimes had), for my one high-speed 16mm
camera rig. Preferably a zoom in good condition (and hopefully fairly
fast). Like the old Bolexes, this high speed camera is non-reflex.
Can anyone tell me what viewing-thru-the-lens makes/models are out
there, especially those in c-mount? Anyone know what the older lenses in
decent shape usually run so I can start budgeting?
It should look something like this, except, of course, in C-mount:
