Does anyone have or know this 15-blade preset lens?

Anyone know what mount this is?
It is a screw-on piece that fits on the the M42 tread or something similar.
My normal M42 adapters only screw in a few threads and then it blocks?

T-mount most likely

Hi,

Thanks, I was able to confirm it is a t-mount.
Will need to get a new adapter.
The lens itself preform very well but without infinity now.

Fodor was a Dutch photo retailer and importer which also sold lenses and camera's under its own name. Made in Japan. The dutch retailer FOKA (still operational under different ownership) is a remnant of that.

Looks like a T-mount lens, with I think a Praktina bayonet T-mount attached.

You should get a proper M42 T-mount (sometimes called T2mount).

The lens side thread of a t-mount lens is M42x.75mm pitch, while proper T-mount is M42x1mm .

That is why the lens thread binds on your adapter. It will also focus far past infinity because the back focus will be off. These lenses need to have the proper T-mounts screwed in to be usable.
