I believe there have been various versions of a Skoparex 35mm f3.4:
In M42, Bajonett for Bessamatic, maybe a M39 mount for rangefinder?

Can anybody, by this photo, identify which mount this lens should have?



thank you for any clarification,
cheers,
kuuan

thank you very much Bruce.
I believe I found the solution now:

Though it looks identical it may not be the one you suggest, because the one made for the Vitessa is called 'Skoparet'
The Skoparex with M42 mount made for the Zeiss Ikon Icarex 35S, which I hoped it was, looks very different.

I am almost sure now that this Skoparex is the one made for Voigtländer Bessamatic:

thank's again,

The Icarex was also produced with bayonet mount.
It was either called simply "Icarex", or, later, "Icarex BM".
The M42 mount version was called "Icarex TM".

The Icarex camera was a Voigtlaender project, that was inherited by Zeiss at the time Zeiss bought Voigtlaender.

Yes, the M42 version of that wouldn't have the moving depth-of-field indicators, since there would be no way to couple them to any M42 camera.
