Mount question.

Anybody recognize this lens mount? I am trying to teach myself the mounts on the lenses (quite a task!) I have started to copy e-bay photos (I know, I know) of mounts for all the lenses listed at Mounts sorted by Register:
http://www.graphics.cornell.edu/~westin/misc/mounts-by-register.html
and have probably half of them but I have yet to see anything quite like this:

Don't recognize it myself, here are some useful photos of many old mounts -

Damn I was going to say that and look clever - you beat me to it. Now you look clever!

I mean yes, I concur with Nordentro

It's an average lens, probably best used on a C4 but I'm sure you could make an adapter for it for mirrorless. I expect it will have a similar FFD as the C3 and would need a custom adapter. In all probably not worth bothering with unless it's cheap.

Thanks . That KEH site has most of the lenses that I spent hours assembling. Odd it never came up in my google search for various lenses. But thank's again everyone. This site is amazing.

There are a lot of lens mounts, not all of them have the same FFD in the list you refer to. One example:





And there are many variants of the same mount M42 and PK for example.

Why not put up a list of mounts you require photos of. I'm sure members here would be happy to help. It would be a useful resource for all of us.

Have you got a photo of the AKArette/AKArelle mount?

Not heard of that one ! Unfortunately the photos are not working since the site was down for about a day earlier this week.
