I bought an unknown lens.

Hello, everyone.
I recently bought an unidentified lens at a flea market.
These lenses are big and heavy. The front looks like an Fisheye lens, but it's not Fisheye lens. I think it's a 35mm lens.
The body of the lens has a sticker called 'maverick 940'

I don't know the manufacturer and the lens model of this lens.
Does anyone know about these lenses?

I don't know the brand at all, but the mount looks very much like a 'process lens' possibly from a very large format artwork copying camera.
I suspect it will have a huge image circle.
If I saw something similar at a boot sale I'd very probably get it! Friends

Photos look great. Did you construct hood for it?

It certainly looks that way.
I think this lens has already been disassembled, Focus ring and outer housing are not visible.

Nice shots. Were those taken freelensing?

Both detalization and corner performance are impressive.

If it is a projection lens of BARCO kind, is/was it used in home digital cinemas or it has some other use?

It looks like a video projector lens

This is really cool! Do you have any images of how you set this up on your camera? Just curious what the whole rig ends up looking like. Also, if you could share any additional info about how you managed to mate the lens, I'm intrigued!
