I found this at a camera show. It's a Schneider Tele-Xenar 18cm f/5.5
with a threaded mount that is smaller than M42 and larger than M39.
The mount seems to measure out at 40mm. No rf coupling.

Anyone know if this is an early Praktiflex lens? Or, maybe Visoflex?

Probably a lens for the Reflex-Korelle (medium format), which had a unique 41mm screw mount.

If you have no use for it, I'd be interested - I don't have a Korelle, but several other medium formats of similar vintage where such a narrow-mount, wide-register lens could be easily adapted .

Just a suggestion - the old Series VI was 41mm

The 41mm thread may be compatible with Series VI, so it may be possible to get an adapter to metric thread, and from there to a reverse adapter.
