I have two of these they are old Cinemascope projector lenses. They are prismatic (which is two prismatic pieces of glass concreted together to form the anamorphic squeeze), also they are Cinemascope so big length in the aspect ratio. I have found them to be very sharp but also soft - I often shoot through another old prime lens as well - they have to be custom mounted I use rods and lens mounts.
