Curious Kinoptik Lens Question

[John H. Tischler]

I just purchased a large lot of cine lenses. Most are pretty straightforward - either old PL or C mounts; but there are a couple of head scratchers. I have a Kinoptic Anamorphic F:2 Focale 75mm lens. The odd thing is that is doesn't have a focusing mechanism. Below the aperture ring is a screw on 1.5" (approximately) barrel followed by another short ring (see attached photos. The threaded section measures slightly under 35mm.

 

Does anyone know what's up with this lens? Is it some sort of universal mount that screws into the focusing helical of one's choice?

 

Thanks!

It could be this lens, but the focusing mechanism is missing: https://jerrybei.com/reviews/2018/4/30/kinoptik-apochromat-75mm-f2-lens

I'm probably wrong, but I've had a lens apart and that screw thread looks more like a focussing rack than a mount.

Yes that thread is a focussing helical. The lens is missing a mount and associated keyway to prevent the front rotating. Presumably a focus scale ring too.

 

Totally useless as it is, let me take it off your hands.. ;)
