Looks like there is an adapter attached to the lens. Try to screw it off.

The original lens mount should be LTM/L39 with a Lecia M adapter attached.

That's not the Kiev/Contax mount, I agree it looks like it has an adapter on it that will unscrew.

Looks like an M-mount adapter to me, ask seller if they used Loctite on it.
If not try harder, just be sure you turn it the correct direction.

Run some isopropyl alcohol into the thread - it's a good lubricant and helps break down any gum sticking the thread. It is also less volatile then eg acetone so has more chance of penetrating into the thread before evaporating.

Not much help from the seller. Just want to make sure it is leica mount. The worst case is to buy a leicaM to nex adapter. Try to turn it again, just can't remove it, lol.
Thanks!

Not the end of the world, M-mount is quite solid and easier to use than M39/LTM.

A big roll of blutak round the lens for grip and an adjustable wrench on the mount would do it.

 I order LeicaM-Nex adapter already Maybe it is easier to use LeicaM mount as I am getting lazy to unscrewed my m42 all the time, LOL.
Thanks for the tip, though
