Again, an enlarger lens I guess.
Big and heavy as well. Dirty too.
Seems to have some kind of thread at the back and front.
and a lever/slot for (I suppose) filters.
I have zero experience and knowledge about enlarger lenses. But I'm gonna try to take shots with some bellow and lots of tape Very Happy

I love that(not so) easy to pronounce name haha!

It could be good, having "apo" in the name.

Thank you for that info.
On another forum I learned this is a 1:1 reproduction lens that came from a reprocamera

I found one on ebay that is complete with it's filters:

What would be the use of those square filters?

Yes indeed, a Repro Lens, not enlarger. Square blades allow enhanced corner sharpness for printed documents ("text").
