If someone can shed a little light on these lenses, what they were used for originally and if they're useful now?
So, I bought an Elitar 17mm c mount lens, and these two came with it. I did look it on Ebay (where I bought the lot for $9) and although there seem to be similar named items, they look different and seem to have different mounts.

Umm, can't seem to get the image to load. These are small lenses in silver. Smaller than the c lens

The 6.5mm lens will be in d mount, for 8mm cameras, only digital camera it can be used on is the Pentax Q.

The Viseur is a eyepiece for one of the Bolex cameras.

The Kaligar 6.5mm f1.9 d mount
lens was made by Ichizuka optical. They made Cine lenses in the 1950's and 1960's. On 3/23/1962 they filed a trademark for the name Cosmicar. On 9/01/1967 they changed their name to Cosmicar.

It will not quite cover the sensor on the Pentax Q and Q10, but it comes close.
