Reitschel Prolinear 135/1.9 ? Confused

I have no idea, but being curious about such a fast 135mm lens I've Googled and only found this. But I'm sure someone will be along with more suggestions.
Whatever it is, if it IS what they say - 135mm f1.9 - then I'd buy it anyway on the chance it's rare and good.

Go to the shop with your camera and a M42 adapter and ask them to let you take some shots with the lens.

That's a lens intended for 35mm movie cameras (hence the lever on the side).

It is probably very good, if price is okay and you can try it out, take it.

Probably just plain m42, some Soviet 35mm cameras had M42 mounts, the pics seem to show it fitted to a normal Zenit.

Important to check if the lens focusses to infinity correctly though, not sure if the M42 movie cameras had the same register as normal M42.

This is lens from Krasnogorsk-3 (K-3) 16mm movie cam. It exists both in M42 and bayonet mount.

The K-3 is 16mm so I'd want to try the lens first, the image circle will certainly cover M4/3, and I suspect it will also cover APS-C but best to be sure before handing over the cash.

I have a Krasnogorsk-3 with an m42 mount meteor 5 17/69 zoom.
While the mount fits exactly my m42 adapters, the rear part of the lens protrudes really deeply, so I didn't dare to try mounting it on my dslr.
The k3 is a 16 mm film camera, don't know how 35mm are.
So check it carefully before buying.
Anyway, if it fits, i'd buy it immediatly.
