Klaus,
As it name implies, this is an oscilloscope lens, so it is not designed for infinity shooting -- but you probably knew that. It has not a very good reputation. Here's what the Vademecum has to say about it:
"This was a Gauss design with heavy element glass. It is essentially a Unilite with two glasses behind the iris, but extra glasses at the front (See Brit Pat 604,883, USPat 2,487,750) It was used on Shackman and other CRT recording cameras, for RAE (Farnborough) and Edgerton et al. Boston, USA."
Here's a link to the webpage of someone who adapted it to a Canon DSLR:

And here's a picture from this lens as originally mounted on a Langham Thompson scientific camera:

Cheers!
