I have opportunity to buy this lens but not sure what kind of mount this is?!

I think - but am by no means certain - that it was meant to fit onto a either an "extension tube" assembly for a movie or 35mm slr camera, or a reflex housing for the Leica. Sorry not to be more precise.

It is an early Arriflex mount ( standard ? ), there are adapters available to fit digital cameras, but they are quite expensive though. Astro Berlin used to make interesting large aperture lenses, the prices had gone through the roof in recent years.

Tnx for answers, as i can see adapter is quit expensive (over 100$). Since lens is on auction will see how far it will go with price.

Does anyone know what is fair price for this lens in this condition?
