As it runs out it fits well on a digital camera. It has an M39 thread and its wide angle means the crop factor is reduced and it actually takes a reasonable picture. 155052155052

Thank you all so much for your expert help. I'll just go away now and shoot myself. I got the lens on the strength of the age. I paid £46 with some other bits all in.
My thing is getting these...
There is another Fallowfield online https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/auction-team-breker/catalogue-id-breker10006/lot-6d78e80f-41e5-4d15-95cf-a5b500bd1094 although they are...

To you and to Steven, it seems to be very much a plain arrow ie ↑ . The only correct information I have is that is SUPPOSED to be a military lens. I have properly measured it and is 85mm tall and...
It might still be a Busch but that information was part of the erroneous information from the seller. I had thought that the serial number was military. A military projection lens? Puts the image...
