This lens has a canon mount but its interchangable to other mounts.

I believe that the lens is M42 and the canon adapter is over that.

I asked the seller but he is a fraid to remove the mount because its fixed with two screws.

So I'm a bit in doubt to take this lens.

I think you need to be careful with this lens Guido. Is it black or silver? It sounds as though it might have had a conversion job done. If not, then I think the black version was only made in M42 mount, but if it's silver it is probably 39mm thread and it might possibly be a Zorki/Leica version with the wrong register distance for your camera. Can we see a picture?

This looks like an adapter for Canon FD system.
Ask him if you can dismount it. It is useless for you.

He is afraid to open it and measure the screw mount.
I gues its comming from a seller like this.

I have found a good J-9 for you Guido.
It costs 44 Eur, from eastern central Italy. You will have to write the seller to know about the shipping costs to foreign.
Only 4 hours to go - I send you an IM with the link.
