Is this just for lenses badged Cosina or any Cosina-made lens? I have a 3.5/135 in Pk badged Petri that is a Cosina.

Any. I forgot about Petri versions. Added, thank you.

Cool, I expect there will have been a whole range of Petri badged PK mount Cosinas.

I have a Carena SRH760 M42 camera that is a rebadged Petri FT500, don't know if Cosina made this camera or not, if they did then I expect they also produced a range of Petri badged M42 lenses to fit it as well.

Possible but i doubt since last Petri M42 lenses were really quite different:

Before that the gap is even bigger:

There were M42 lenses after the Petri 1977 bankruptcy using Petri brand name but i think not made by Cosina. Not sure though.

Right in front of me is a Cosinon Auto MC F=2.8 f=28mm lens in M42 mount. Serial 772XXX, followed a late seventies Cosina SLR body. The lens has an A/M switch too. (onscript: LENS MADE IN JAPAN U). Likely same lens which is listed as PK, MD mount?

I have a 55mm F2.8 Vivitar that I think is made by Cosina. It has the m42 mount. I've also seen 55mm f2.8 lenses on Ricoh m42 cameras and possibly others and they looked almost exactly like this lens.

I've got the Cosina 24mm f2.8 OM mount. It's ok, but not as sharp as the OM 24mm f2.8 or the FD 24mm f2.8.

Exactly. 60mm( Nah, its 58 ) filter thread.

Edit: 60 -> 58.

I believe there are also more than one version of this. One version is marked MC while the other one is not.
