Nice group. Are these all enlargement or machine lenses?

Interesting! I know absolutely nothing about cinema. What mount are these in? They look very industrial and not like they have aperture control rings... or I suppose for cinema it would be coupled to a guide? Maybe I just can't see it in the photo. Anything more you could tell us about these?

They all wide open without aperture. You can find examples and information regarding adapter-helicoid for such lenses using these links, I have described before

Thank you. The image quality on these is outstanding to say the least, while with tame bokeh. Considering the focal length and aperture, you're making nice images too. Like 1 small
Do you know of their value? I only found one, seemingly rarer Visionar with built-in iris control that sold for US$400, which seems quite low.

I see no sense in iris for such lens. They are designed to project light with wide open.
About price - sometimes it's really overpriced. All lens which I seen on ebay comes from $200-400+
For last 2 years I got around 15 different lens 85-140mm with average price $40-50 per lens in my country and won auction at ebay for Carl Zeiss Jena 141 1.9 for only $120, this is my most expensive lens. Also you'll need some adapter-helicoid, I made it with my local metal turner https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVyVejX30Ak

Hmm I guess they are quite common in Europe and NA. I just checked Ebay and there are not many special ones. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any adapter like yours.

Here is how to mount them: http://photographyoftheinvisibleworld.blogspot.de/2015/09/how-to-modularily-mount-projection-or.html
Rafcamera.com makes and sells those adapters for that, I gave them instructions and they work well.
Benefit of mounting them like this is, that one only needs one ring mounted per lens and one helicoid and camera mount for all lenses! With a few turns a lens can be exchanged against another one. Mounts 62.5mm versions (mostly eastern lenses) and also 52.5mm ones (western ones) and even others as there are a few other mounting rings avaiuable now for more exotic lenses...
