Is that a Cyclop? I has another focusing ring and the most important a much longer rear element!

That looks just like the 1.2 with the protuding nipple, interesting. Wonder if the owner of that lens converted it for use?

Update
In the meanwhile the author did cut off the rear element and he got suprisingly good results:

Interesting, on my m42 cyclop there is no such element on the back.
