Hi, I've got this lens some time already, but it hasn't been of any use to me since the mount is unknown. The serial number says the lens is of 1949, and other than the info on the lens itself I only know the number of aperture blades, which is 17 if I counted correctly. The diameter of the ring of the Tele Megor-mount is about 42mm.
There are some 150mm f/4 Tele Megor in C-mount available on eBay, but that's an entire different construction. The other known Tele Megor 150mm has f/5.5 and there's a 150/4 converted to T-mount on eBay but that one is completely different as well.
The optical elements are relatively close to eachother, they are all in the first part of the lens which makes it a very simple design? It's uncoated as far as I can tell. The front of the lens is somewhat damaged because there has been a hood-adapter screwed onto it (which can be easily reinstated).
Does anyone have an idea which mount this is or could be?

At first I thought Praktina, but the lugs look too wide.
There is another exakta mount that fits over the external flanges, it is probably that mount. _________________ I don't care who designed it, who made it or what country it comes from - I just enjoy using it! |

Some movie camera mount I think.
It doesn't look like any of the usual medium format mounts used in the 1950's, Pentacon and such.
The SLR versions of this lens were all aluminum finish or chrome brass earlier.
Telemegors were simple formulas, and their elements were all in the lens head with the aperture between the elements.
Usually you can remove the lens head to remount it if you need to. I have seen some telemegor heads mounted on lensboards. _________________ I like Pentax DSLR's, Exaktas, M42 bodies of all kinds, strange and cheap Japanese lenses, and am dabbling in medium format/Speed Graphic work. |

I think this is definitely a cine/movie lens.
The usual Exakta-mount Tele-Megor was f/5.5, but Meyer had a cine lens line also, with a 150mm f/4 Tele-Megor
I don't think there was ever a still camera Tele-Megor with an f/4 aperture. _________________ I like Pentax DSLR's, Exaktas, M42 bodies of all kinds, strange and cheap Japanese lenses, and am dabbling in medium format/Speed Graphic work. |

Ok, thanks. It seems the only option to make it usable is to create a custom mount then, something for the future. |

I think you understood something else than what I meant to say. I didn't say I'd convert it, I said I would create a mount for it. To mount it somehow on MFT should be reasonable easy, when I put it right in front of the mount of my E-PM1 it's focussed on about 3.5 to 4m where it says close to 2.5m on the lens. If i put a M42-adapter between the camera and lens it's becoming about 1m so the adapter that's to be created is somewhere in between. |

CP mount maybe for the CP-16r?
Rare by any yardstick, you might still be able to find someone to make an one-off adaptor for your system, albeit at a cost. |

That adapter is to put C mount lenses on a Bolex bayonet mount so wouldn't be any use in mounting your Telemegor. _________________ I don't care who designed it, who made it or what country it comes from - I just enjoy using it! |

I don't think it is the Bolex mount, the lugs on your lens look a lot wider than the gaps in the Bolex mount. _________________ I don't care who designed it, who made it or what country it comes from - I just enjoy using it! |

From the 1938 Meyer flyer scanned by Camera Eccentric, the pre-war version at least was being supplied in the following mounts -
Bell&Howell (Filmo)
Paillard (aka Bolex)
Ensign
Victor
Agfa Movex
Siemens D
Cine-Kodak Special
New Magazine Cine-Kodak
Who knows what they were supplying in 1948 _________________ I like Pentax DSLR's, Exaktas, M42 bodies of all kinds, strange and cheap Japanese lenses, and am dabbling in medium format/Speed Graphic work. |
