It may be an old M version (diaphragm only to 16). It does not have a screw mount. It has a bayonet mount, and it mounts just fine on a Visoflex II. The bayonet mount would of course fit on the M camera, except for the fact that is is recessed into the lens. I wonder if it is the optical group of the Summicron on a short focusing tube type ZOOEP. I have uploaded 3 pictures, http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder.tcl?folder_id=397602 if someone knows what I need to mount this lens on my M3, please let me know. Thanks again.
