It's the original manual 38mm macro lens for use on bellows.  The bellows
does the focusing.

| Well my desire to get a deal is being overridden by my desire to not get
| the shaft. Originally, I thought this was the 38mm 2.8 macro, which
| would be an amazing find at this price. However, it doesn't seem to
| match with the specs of that lens. First, it only goes to f/16. Second,
| it's screw mount (which I missed in the first reading). Third, the
| picture doesn't match the pics of the macro I've seen. Fourth, there's
| no fine focus. Fifth, it's apparantly manual apeture (I got this piece
| of info from the seller, I don't think he understood what that is
| though). He described it as there being 2 rings that control apeture.
| The first is unmarked the second has markings and detents. He said that
| the setting of the 2nd ring controls how far you can move the first
| ring. If you set the 2nd ring to f/16, then you can turn the first ring
| through all the apetures. If you set the 2nd ring to 2.8, you can't turn
| the first ring. That sounds to me as if it's a manual apeture mechanism
| where you set the apeture with the 2nd ring and close down the lens by
| turning the first.
|
| Anyways, what is this lens? It's at:
