Is it made for IKON ?

I guess it's a lens for ICAREX TM camera (M42).
It has the same finish as my Icarex CZ Tessar 2.8/50.

See example of ICAREX TM camera:

The ICAREX TM has M42 mount, so it's lenses are M42
But more common is the ICAREX BM with bayonet mount - probably possible to build adapters for it but as far as I know nobody sells them yet.

WHen you buy Icarex lenses you have to be careful to mount, many sellers don't specify if bayonet or M42, it is always careful to ask before bidding.

Oh I see I saw with bayonet mount only.

Actually, it is not an M42-mount - unfortunately.
It has this strange and terribly big Icarex bayonet.

I had to take apart the complete rear part and was only able to mount this lens on en EOS by not attaching the aperture mechnism again. Sad

So, I only can use this lens wide open @f4. And I have to be careful when focussing because the barrel doesn't stop turning any more, so it could happen that I unscrew the front part again. Shocked

Anyway, I get infinity focus this way. Wink

It's similar to this one: Click here to see on Ebay
I got my copy very cheap, so fooling around with it was no real risk...

The M42-versions are really expensive: Click here to see on Ebay

This last price is crazy, I bought the same lens - only named Carl Zeiss Tele-Tessar, which is what it is, really - brand new in box, made in Oberkochen, for just 90 Euros.

Rollei bayonette of course.
