I thought this was a M42 to PK adapter, ideally an original one, on a vivitar lens I just acquired. But it's not. In fact I don't know what it is. It's not minolta. Doesn't match konica either.
It's approx 6.8mm thick. Note the red dot, indent in the bayonet flange, and the pentax like gap.
Any ideas?

Looks like M42-PK adapter screwed onto something else to me too. Lens has 36mm mount?! Which Vivitar lens?

Looks like a Yashica/Contax mount for that arrow like tab with a gap

well done @ titrisol70
Comparing to an adaptall CY mount it'sthe same - flanges line up, notch, gap etc.
See if I can flog it on ebay for a fiver.
