This is an early Kilfitt lens and is not related to the fine 2.8/90 Makro-Kilar. It is an adequate performer but not as good as some of the later Kilfitt designs. I have owned one and found it was satisfactory, but it didn't cause me to discard my 2.8/90 Elmarit! I do not know why they put it on a reflex housing other than that Kilfitt did not regularly produce RF-coupled lenses, though they did produce an RF-coupled adapter, the ECUNE. It is not especially rare or especially valuable: I believe I paid $50 for mine and sold it for $75, together with a reflex housing and cable.
