Ive included a picture of the lens ( i think ) to aid in identification. From looking through previous magic lantern lens posts, here is what i feel like may be important info:
It has two lens elements. Not three
The only marking on it is "Arriere" (i cant figure out how to add the accent marks). This simply says "rear" in french. Because of that i would assume that this is not a pretzval lens.
measuring the outer brass barrel in the front this lens is about 60mm dia, and the glass at the front is 48mm in dia.
The actual lantern that it came from also has no markings. of course there is no guarantee that the lens and the lantern were originally sold together.
Thats all that i can think of to help.
Regardless of the lenses make, I will still try to use it to see how a photo turns out. To that end, one more nubee question; is there any online documentation on how to mount the lens to a lens board? If the threading on the lens is standard, then, awesome! If not, ack!!
Many thanks
