Won this lens a few min ago






Google returns only M42 mounts and metal focusing ring.

Would be grateful for info:)

Later version (second generation, mid-late 1970s) Tokina auto lens in fixed mount. This is similar I believe to the TX interchangable mount version. I have a bit later version with improved coating.

This is a fairly common lens albeit usually found in brands other than Tokina. Tokina was still mainly selling through distributors brands at the time. Because of its rather anonymous looks this lens isn't that easy to identify otherwise.

Should be decent but not spectacular.

It looks like a dozen brands, but I expect its probably very good. Being a Tokina.

Definitely Minolta SR bayonet, MC variety. The screwed on tab is the meter coupling (MC), later MD types have another tab further round the aperture ring. The slot in the bayonet and the word MIN sort of give it away too..
