Identifying a lens: what is this ??

[Joao]

My apologies if the answer is obvious, but I would to know what kind of mount is this (or if parts of it are missing...).
And what camera did this lens belonged to ?

Thank you

Joao

Seems to be Contax Mount. Somethihng like this I guess:

Hello Joao,


Perchance its an early, collapsable 50mm lens for the Contax rangefinders?


Cheers, Robert

Contax -- Rangefinder, the ORIGINAL of course. —— Looks complete to me.

Yeah, forgot that part. Contax rangefinder.

Probably compatible with Kiev's?

Contax mount, but don't know to which camera it originally belongs.
Edit: too slow 🙂

Many thanks .
Your answers are good news for me.
This lens lays among a bunch of old stuff in a thrift shop. The shop owner does not know anything about it (or about cameras). He may sell it for a few euros, I guess... The apertures worked fine and, on a quick inspection there were no signs of fungi.
Unfortunately I will not be able to return there until mid-October, so I will have to ask someone to go there and pick it.

Thank you again

João

I got it !!!

I got it !!!

I got the lens for 10 euro. It is quite clean and seems to fit well in the Kiev 4AM. There is already a test rol inside.
