The sensor is bigger than the Super16mm but if you know both formats then you'll have an idea of how that affects lens choices.
Here is a reference chart from No Film School blog:

It'll support any lens you can use on a Canon DSLR. So the list pretty extensive (incl Nikon, M42, Contax C/Z, etc). If you are looking to us PL glass or fast MFT lenses then the MTF version is the one to go for.
Reger wrote:Any suggestions on 2 affordable lenses to start off with, is 10mm the widest and what would you be like a standard lens.
I generally don't shoot very wide. On Super35 the widest I normally go is 24mm.
My current lens selection that I use on the BMCC EF mount:
Tokina 11-16mm (Nikon mount)
Carl Zeiss ZF.2 - 35mm f2
Carl Zeiss ZF.2 - 50mm f1.4
Currently on the shopping list is a Carl Zeiss ZF.2 - 25mm f2
The Canon 17-55mm f2.8 would be a good "run and gun" lens. I have a few Canon lenses but I don't normally pack them in when shooting on the BMCC.
