Anyone ever heard of this lens before? It recently popped up on Ebay, but google doesn't give me any useful info on the lens.
According to the seller it's not C-mount and it's no x-ray lens either.

Looks like c-mount to me. Probably too fat to fit any m4/3 or NEX adapter though.

From the pictures I would almost certainly say that it is c-mount. My suspicion (and I may have heard this elsewhere) is that this is the mother of Noktor 50/0.95, which popped up a while ago. Basically a fast cctv lens that was then remade into a SLR lens with various mounts. As I remember, the wide open performance was dismal. But for a good price, I am sure all sorts of interesting things could be done with it.
But be careful with the haze on the front element he mentions.
