Schneider Kreuznach Xenon 25 mm f/0.95

[ZoneV]

Hi there!

I got a Schneider Kreuznach Xenon 25 mm f/0.95 lens

I found out, that there are "Cine" and normal/CCTV/?? versions around.
The Xenon 25/0.95 that are selled as new looks very different to my version. My lens looks like all those used Xenons f/0.95 on Ebay.

The new one cost about 1200 USD, the used price ranges from 980 to 1400 USD. Do you know if the optical design has changed, or if the high used prices for used lenses are only because they looks better?

Have to check, if I find a camera to make images with that lens - without the need for a computer to take pictures (many C-Mount cameras are on my desk on work, but the all need a computer).

Found a camera
OK, it is not a very good combination. At the moment I could make only macro images - with my EOS 1000D.
I use liveview, and push the lens Live-View a bit under the camera mirror:
