Thanks so much for your expertise(s?). There are a couple of old lens Yodas outside of L.A. that I'll contact tomorrow to see if they have a line on getting that little piece. It'd be a shame to let this lens go to waste just because of that little adapter, but as the old poem goes, "For want of a nail..."

It looks like this guy has figured out a similar modern modification... but I'm sure he won't tell me how, he'd just have me buy his copy ? https://www.ebay.com/itm/ANGENIEUX-17-68-17-68mm-f-2-2-TYPE-L2-w-MFT-Mount-for-GH5-BMPCC-GH4-BMCC-G6-/372916406932

Wow, great find! Now... how on Earth to buy that back piece? Via Google Translate, it seems that guy has found a way of mounting it with different hardware, now how to find that part that says "A C mount is locked on it"? Or does anyone know of a place that sells old Angenieux parts that might have the original c-mount ring? Thanks, you've solved one big part of the mystery!

Hey all, So I purchased a very clean Angenieux 10-68 zoom that was supposed to be C-mount... but it doesn't fit any C-mount adapters even remotely. It has the "dogleg" viewfinder attachment, but when I remove that added lens extension, there still isn't a C-mount behind it. Even though I live in Hollywood, no camera gurus can seem to identify it, even though there are a bunch of these "dogleg" 17-68 lenses sold on eBay, etc. So I come to the gold standard forum for old camera lenses and ask... what the heck is this mount, and is it adaptable to c-mount (and ultimately, to Micro 4/3)?
