It will be interesting to see what you find once those screws are removed.

All of you were right, the lens seems to be T2 with a specific T2-M42 adapter on it.
I've unscrewed the three screws and found it's a part of an adjustable T2-M42 adapter:



You can see the thread below the screw part of the adapter:





Anyway, I've been unable to unscrew the top part of the adapter, maybe it's locked or glued in some way. Since the lens works fine and the topic is clear now, I don't want to mess up with it. So I'm not going to try it brute-force, it would be a shame to break such a nice lens Sad

Hello Jesito, here are pictures of my Lennon branded 2.5/105 mm lens. It is on my flickr page. As you see it is possible to screw the ring off. I have seen that you unscrewed the ring and that the inner part is still on your lens. If you dare you can put your lens in a vise (tornillo) packed in rubber and try to screw the inner ring off. Turn left Smile If you are not going to screw another ring on your copy then leave it as is. I bought mine without an adapter on it so all the adapters used are third party. Regards, Cliff.

Thx Jesito for your effort Wink

This confirms that this was a T-2 only mount lens.

Thanks for the detailed report. I never use a bench wise for lenses (even protected by a rubber band). I use to use a can opener that supplies enough strenght for most cases, it's my limit. I tried it with the opener and the mount didn't turn at all, so I've decided (once the lens mount is known) to let it as is and don't try to force it. (I don't have any camera with a T2 mount, just a T2 to M42 adapter for the case). So thinking of it as a M42 lens is okay for me Wink

You are right, better safe then sorry Exclamation As for the pictures and report, you're welcome, Cliff.
