I'm almost 100% certain that it's Konica AR but since I have no other AR stuff I can't test. I got if for real cheap off of eBay, seller didn't know what kind of mount it was (I saw MC on the lens and thought it was Minolta). Just want to confirm before I order and adapter.

Really wish it'd mount to my Canon DSLRs, but I understand that there's a focus problem with AR lenses due to flange distance. I can always use it on my mirrorless NEX 5N but it's rather chunky, was really wanting to use it as a general purpose video lens for my Canons Sad

The tab that sticks in at the upper left in the second picture is a telltale sign of Konica AR.

MC is usually multi-coated, and not indicative of the mount..

The cut out in the flange is always confusing. But the Konica mount has it more centrally placed that the Minolta. Also the Minolta has meter couplings attached to the aperture ring.

MC on the front of the lens would always indicate Multi Coated, Some Minolta fit may have MC engraved somewhere but that would always be on the fitting end of the camera.

I never noticed the Konica AR had that little tab. Interesting.
