I bought this on a lark, must learn to resist this urge from now on I think...
Anywho, I have the above subject item, converted to EOS mount.
From Google, I'm guessing this was a native fit item for a Voigtlander Vito B camera?
I has it's own shutter, it seems, kind of like an old large format lens/shutter combo.
I FINALLY have this thing working where the shutter is now open ALL the time.
I can change the iris aperture normally as any other manual lens.
Focus works too.
Even though the dials are tiny, I kinda like it.

This is a big crop BTW...
