By the way, thank you both, Dan Fromm and IanG. You guys are precious information sources for film photography and have contributed amazing online info over the years. My compliments.

I'm starting to think this thing is a Cine lens for 70mm film. There's a green sticker on the side of the box that says Technicolor AF GFP.
It being designed for 70mm film might also explain the...
