Hi, i recently came across a nice Kaligar 200mm 1:3.5 lens in my basement. Which camera bases would i be able to use this lens with?

I don't think it's a valuable lens, but what mount does it have? I see someone selling an M42 version for $15, which means it's for 35mm cameras. No idea who actually manufactured it, but Kalimar probably sold it, as that's the name most attached to Kaligar lenses.

Kaligar seems to have made lenses for a variety of cameras, including auxiliary lenses for fixed-lens cameras. If this is a complete lens for an interchangeable mount, you'll have to find out what cameras it was made for.
