I recently bought a Kodak Duo Six-20 with a Schneider-Kruznach Xenar f:3.5 F=7.5cm (75mm) lense...
My question is how I can fit this lense (the small lense) on a canon DSLR?

you can see the camera and the lense on the following link

Don't cannibalize camera just to feed your curiosity , even if it will be done. You will not use more than a couple ones due inconvenience setup and so- so results. There is plenty of lens what is compatible with your DSLR with a single adapter.

I agree with Attila. If the camera was junked except for the lens, that would be one thing. Destroying a good camera is something else entirely. A 620 camera can still be used, either by respooling 120 film onto 620 reels, or by making or buying cheap spindles to use 135 cartridges, for sprocket-hole panoramas. Use it in public, and you will draw admiring and puzzled stares!

If you do find a junked MF folder -- I mean one where the body is wrecked beyond repair -- you need to mount the entire lens+shutter assembly. I have a Zeiss Tessar 80/2.8 that's probably from an old Ikonta, I don't know, I bought it as-is. I use a 33-42mm step ring to mount it on M42 bellows for general photography. (I set the shutter to B and block it open with a screw in the cable socket.) Both my M42 and PK (Pentax) bellows are thick enough that lenses of 75mm or shorter don't reach infinity. So a 50mm lens from a junked 135 folder with a would only be useful for closeups/macros. Or, are there any M4/3 bellows?

Besides fine Schneider and Zeiss etc glass from upscale folders, you might consider the other end of the MF spectrum. If you find a trashed 120 or 620 box camera or maybe a crushed Polaroid. think about dissecting its broken corpse and removing the lens. To prepare the lens for bellows, use a camera body cap with a hole cut in the centre.
