Wow - a fantastic find. I guess most of us would have simply overlooked it!

That looks very similar to the Hanimex 135mm lens I bought from a car-boot sale some years back - not quite the same, but similar design for the focussing ring, similar design for the aperture ring (although the Hanimex has two). I must get round to trying it out one of these days, especially if the quality is anything like this one. That's the trouble with lenses for a pound,

Slap in the middle of England
It's from Greens of London, 1:3.5, preset 13 blade aperture and I can't find any information about it at all. They were clearly made for a variety of cameras since the M42 end is a bolt-on T fitting
Its IQ is something again. This is the fruit of a plane tree. It gives an impression of fuzziness at first
until you examine the 100% crop and realise that it is due to the sheer amount of tiny detail and texture
The quality from this thing is quite astonishing considering its age ( and price! )
Those 13 blades produce a great bokeh too which I shall be playing with over the next day or so
