It seems like a fast lens with a shutter.
These screen shots (attached) were taken from the documentary "What the bleep do we know. "
Any pointer as to what lens this is and where to find/buy it would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Not convinced this has a shutter. Perhaps a pneumatic connection to an internally mounted shutter. Looks like universal heliar handles? Coated post war, 42cm or bigger.
Just a guess.
I agree it looks coated, and a 420mm is a good guess. Also agree likely no shutter attached to lens.

No shutter? Looks like it's sitting in a Copal 3 to me.
Yeah, something close to a Schneider Symmar 480mm mounted in a Copal 3 on a Sinar 8x10. Not a particularly fast lens.
Hat-off for the consistency of responses. Thanks guys, you are great! I know where to start digging. I would take any suggestion other than the 480mm Symmar + copal 3.
Given the coating colour, I agree with the Symmar-S MC. 480mm might be, but so might the 360mm.
The front cell doesn't look nearly large enough to be a 480.
I thought it has a similar size to a Fuji 360 f/6.3 or Nikkor 240. That's a black ring Copal 3, and the writing on the lens will be on the outside of the rim.
