This is a vintage projector lens I purchased from eBay for just US$9.9. Postage to Hong Kong, however, was US$19.9! 
It is very heavy, a pound at least! I put it in an appropriate size lens hood, then added step-up/step-down rings to make the mounting end into M42. Thereafter, I used a M42 focusing tube to use it on my Canon 50D. Despite the fact that it got no aperture ring (i.e. shooting wide-open at all time), the images were quite sharp. Grateful if someone can advise as to the history of this lens and what kind of equipment it was manufactured for. Many thanks! 
Regards,
Ferrick
