Kern-Paillard (Swiss) made fantastic cine lenses for Bolex (Paillard) cameras.
This looks like a 16mm cine version, but I could be wrong. I believe Kern made
very good 35mm lenses too (for Alpa?).

:ring to it, and then glued an enlarger lens (backwards) onto the step up ring.
:Never heard of Kern-Paillard, though.
