Anyone know what this is?

Looks like a Kiev rangefinder external bayonet. Not sure, but the locking mecanism reminds me the Jupiter 12 on my Kiev 4.

Edit : it seems I'm right, look here

Thanks much - saved me some grief. This too is a Jupiter 9, but not the old chrome type as in the other thread. It looked as though it could be bought cheap (relatively), but will not be worth it if can't be adapted or reach infinity on my DSLR.
