Could you please help me identify what that lens is?
It is small, it reads f=6 and its maximum aperture is 1.9. I cannot find any information for that lens specifically.

6mm f 1.9 wide angle for 8mm cine format.
Probably "D" screw mount.
May have a rear cap on.
These were often used in turret mounts on high-end 8mm cameras.

Is it possible to use them on digital cameras? If I can recall correctly D mount lenses are even narrower than C-moount.

It is possible but image circle will be very small even for m4/3.
You can try to measure it if you hold the lens close to a window while projecting the image on a sheet of paper.

Ive not tried them but they are supposed to be usable on Pentax Q.

I have been eyeing a Pentax Q for some time. Perhaps it is time to give it a go.
(Although that I mostly do film these days)

I have a Pentax Q10 for my D mount lenses. It's alot of fun.
I had never heard of the Som Berthoit 6mm f1.9.
Their is one on eBay. No idea what the lens is really worth.

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/231812706274
