I bought this lens recently. I was told it was a night vision lens but the seller didn't know any more than that. It has an M42 mount, is approximately 100mm f2, and has no aperture. I did some research and found a pic of the lens attached to a sort of night vision scope with a pistol-style grip. I'm guessing it is Russian. I was hoping someone here could tell me something about this lens, like who made it and what decade it dates from?
I bought it after seeing some sample photos. It's great fun to shoot with, the crazy field curvature leaves gives you a sort of telephoto lensbaby effect:
