Hi
I recently bought this lens on ebay :
postimage.org/gallery/5lo74lzu/.

It's supposed to be M-42.
On the pictures you couldn't see the mount.
Am I missing something, or is this a whole differente mount?

Thanks in advance, John

Ok
I can't see how this will fit a M -42 adapter.

WolverineX says "it's soligors interchangeable mount", which logically dictates that there should be various different mount adapters available for that lens, including one for M42...Problem is, they are likely to be rare as rocking horse droppings.
Your not the only person looking for one either:

So, good luck in finding one.

Do not confuse with other "t-shape" mounts. Some details see here.

Hi, good luck with this one, I looked ages for an adaptamatic mount and never found one. If the lens is a good one its worth hanging on to it and waiting (hint... make a new post mentioning the t4-m42 mount, it may get more attention. The guys here are very generous and you may get a swop for your FD mount)
