I picked up this lens on a panel in a box with some large format stuff, but can't find out much about it. Anyone any idea what it was for? It just about covers 35mm. Some kind of macro perhaps? It has the look of an enlarger lens... but f2?
It works nicely on MFT.
dates from 1976 and looks like this...

Wow the rendering is very nice.
Looks like enlarger lens to me. Does it have a focusing helicoid?
PS: Aparently not but look here:

Someone evidently likes this lens enough to go to some effort, as you say it renders well - seems a little expensive though! But the purpose of the lens remains a mystery to me, it's too fast for an enlarger lens.
Edit: looks like c mount so may be some sort of TV lens?

Does it cover 35mm at infinity ?
I doubt it does.
I think its designed for some smaller format, but without a focusing helical
that leaves it an oddity.

The barrel design is identical to the Schneider enlarger lenses of that vintage, I have both Componon and Componar lenses that look identical.
However, the 50mm Schneider ELs are f4 so as Luis says, an oddity.
I wonder if it's a CCTV camera lens?

It does in fact cover 35mm at infinity, but only just. I put it on the back of a lens panel on a 54 to check - the register meant I had to use the MFT to try it though. Maybe I'll try it on a 35mm rangefinder next.
Could be CCTV, but I thought they were generally of quite low quality. This seems fairly good.
I could try it on the enlarger...

Well, Zeiss Jena made the Tevidon for CCTV and Schneider in the West made an equivalent, this may be that equivalent? During the Cold War they needed high quality surveillance video.

I have it on my desk, so here it is for you 
The lens is inside a M42 (ex)-teleconverter as a tube

Here with a Pany G1
#2
Here with a Nex
#3
Almost impossible to use wide open...But yet interesting.

i think this is some kind of machine machine vision or line scan lens. Designed for very flat field and high resolution applications.

Schneider CCTV lenses are looking quite different and they all have a focusing helicoid as far as I know!
For me it looks like it's an enlarger lens for half frame.
