Wow, these are great! Shocked

Are you still just holding this lens up against the camera, or have you figured out a mount adapter?

I still hold it against the camera...I don't think I will touch the mount or try to adapt it... as to hold it onto the camera is not a big issue....and as you can see you get decent results.It is a small enough lens to hold between two fingers while the rest of the hand still grips the camera.
I am wondering does anyone else on the forum have one of these lenses so we could compare images?
The lens seems to pick up the softness of the rose petals extremely well.

Moira, I own a Signette, but my plans are to fix it and use film on it rather than taking the lens out Wink..

But if during the process I end getting a disassembled lens, don't worry that I'll try the fingermount adapter as you did. Wink

Thanks for your comments,I am lucky Jes as this is from the Signet 80 a camera with interchangeable lenses.I will certainly be looking out for any more like this lens...I can honestly say it was a spur of the moment buy that turned out to be a far better deal than the money I spent.
Here it is in a little more detail
#1 The finger grip...Laughing

#2 The mount itself...it is about 7-8mm from the top of the little pin to the 16 that you can see....this is what sits inside the camera.

#3 The EV scale...I set it to 125 and when you move the aperture it changes accordingly.(I am not sure if it works or not)

#4 Another little button just above the mount.

#5 The blades don't look to good ...I am not sure of the discoloration?
