LOOK WHAT I WON !
I found these old Tamrons on the Bay dirt cheap !
I seen test results from the 135 Tammy and they were pretty good, the lens is well worth 2.26 USD. 
Click here to see on Ebay

Can anyone ID the mount? Seller claims they are screw mount but the photos seem to show bayonet X-mount.

Congratulations.
You must be aware that these are the older Adaptall lenses, which are not the same as the newer Adaptall II.
The model numbers are CW-28 and CT-135.
On the view from the rear of the lens on the auction site pictures, the adapter looks indeed like an Adaptall II M42 ring. The pictures for the 28mm lens are the same as for the 135mm lens.
As for the eBay button, it is working properly. You have to type only the item number, not the full path to the auction.
Cheers!

Yep, I know they are the old babies, the price was right.
I purchased both lenses for under 20.00 USD with shipping.
Thanks for the ebay fix. |

I have the Adaptall 1 f2.8 28mm and it is a nice lens. It has a very different character to the later Adaptall 2 f2.5 28mm lens but almost as sharp. It's great on DSLR has it has less overall contrast.
I have had mine from new so used it on film and digital for many years.

Glad to hear that about the 28mm Rob.
I've seen results from the old 135mm, it's not so bad. For 2.26 you cant beat it. If anything I could put it back on ebay and make a small profit. The seller didnt seem to know too much about his gear. |

One M42 Adaptall II ring is worth much more than what you paid for the whole lot!
