So I was just randomly browsing another forum when I ran into a post of someone jokingly saying "Rate my street setup" and posting this

This monster is a fast, long telephoto mirror lens for M39, first made in 1960 (http://allphotolenses.com/lenses/item/c_1060.html)
Anyone here crazy enough actually owns this? Or does somebody at least know where I could see sample images? The fact that this even exists greatly intrigues me as I love unusual lenses, especially when they're vintage.

Wow ... I wish!

The camera on the back is an early Zenit, judging by the prism housing, so that would correspond to the 39mm thread mount, albeit not Leica/FED/Zorki rangefinder.

Perfect for discreet street photography. Just strengthen your shirt pocket a bit. And there are specials on offer for newbees in most bodybuilding fitness centres...

Cool. Another crazy Russian mirror lens to seek out.
