The Prinz Galaxy has arrived and it's an interesting lens. For one thing it's tiny (it's a 135mm F3.5 not a F2. plus I'm also not 100% convinced it's an M42 lens. It came with a screw in mount adaptor which takes the lens to something a fair bit smaller than M42 screw mount - perhaps M39?
It's much more likely a T2 mount.
M39 is very old mount and commonly found only on old Russian reflex lenses, or on old German rangefinder lenses.

Thanks for that. Just done some checking and as the T2 is the same thread size but a different pitch it does sound likely that the main mount on the lens could well be a T2. That would make the adaptor that came with it a "T2 -> something" adaptor. The only label on it says "ZE" and after some quick googling I thought that might be Mamiya ZE but that's a bayonet mount and this is a screw thread.
