This is a tiny lens only 50mm long and 33mm in diameter, it has this unusual 3-lug bayonet for the Movikon 16mm cine camera.



Here is the camera:

these http://kevincameras.com/gallery/v/zeiss_misc/zeiss_lenses/2254573/?g2_page=2 are from an ebay listing I stumbled upon some time ago. It looks like yours, even if the pics are not extremely clear, and the seller says it is in movikon mount (about which I know nothing, by the way).

That lens on kevin's site is the same, so if he is correct and it is Movikon mount, then so is the one I showed picture of.
Anyone know what the register is for the Movikon mount?

I experimented with the lens on my NEX, it fits inside an M39 adapter with about a mm to spare all around so I packed it with cardboard from the inside of a toilet roll tube, register seems to be around 25mm.

Wide open with flash it seems impressively sharp to my eyes with the classical smooth as silk Sonnar rendering.

Amazing result from any lens, especially from a century old one Shocked

Indeed, I was shocked. I wonder if the other Movikon 16mm lenses cover the NEX sensor too? That tiny Topogon 1.3cm would be very useful and the Sonnar 1.4/2.5cm would be too.
