Got a Makinon 24-50mm. From the pictures, I thought it was a PK mount so I bought a PK adapter. After receiving the lens, I found it is not. It has FX by the aperture ring. Is it a Fuji mount? I checked online and I am still a little confused. What adapter should I use to mount this lens on Sony E mount camera? Many thanks!

After further searching, I guess it is what is called Fuji AX mount? Is it correct? I guess FX is heavily used as other meaning so my search on Fuji FX really didn't give too much relevant information.

Yes it is a Fuji AX mount.
Something like this:

Thank you. There seems not too many AX mount lenses available. Not sure if at old times, Fuji's AX series cameras were not that popular?
The adapter doesn't seem to be available in the US market; all I can find are directly shipped from China (which takes quite long time). I checked my favorite adapter seller on ebay and they don't seem to have it.

Nowhere near as many as Canon, Nikon, Minolta and Pentax for sure. Also Fujica cameras took M42 lenses for a long time before the AX mount came along.
Some Porst Cameras were Fujica clones and so some Porst lenses will also be AX mount

On US ebay, it seems AX mount lenses are very scarce. I've found Kominar has some AX mount lenses. Not sure this Kominar is just Komine who made vivitar 28***** lenses.
