I've stumbled upon this lens yesterday at a flea market and bought it.
I'm wondering which kind of screw mount I've got here, as my M42 adapter doesn't work.
Any idea?

Not really... that adapter will not allow the lens to focus to infinity.
The Minolta flange focal distance is less than that of the Canon mount, which means that the Minolta lens will be too far away from the sensor when mounted on the Canon. Because of this, an adapter has to have an optical element in it to correct the focus, otherwise the lens will only focus at close distances.

Thanks for the explanation Scheimpflug.
ManualFocus-G, I was thinking the same thing
No idea how much I could ask though.
From what I've read around it seems it's a decent lens.

It is one of the faster zoos from then, f/3.8. I have bought many similar no more than US$35 including shipping, but those all have M42, T2, T4 mounts -- the FD/FL fixed mount isn't worth as much because of difficulty adapting to modern bodies.
