Yes it has P6 mount , but many times selling together with M42 P6 converter or you able to buy separately.

Or you can buy from me an AFC chipped P6-EOS adapter Laughing
This lens is huge and heavy, I would prefer the Prakticar version (I'm sad that I've lost one for 90Euro with my slow last min bid:() but will watch the price of this one just for curiosity.

If it is reprogrammable Very Happy Otherwise I will buy an adapter and an AFC chip seperately, then bring together. After my little experience I learned, DO IT YOURSELF! Laughing

By the way, I am curious about the price of the lens as well..

I take it that this lens originally had a tripod mont. Looks as though this one doesn't.

Maybe it is the reason of pricing it GBP50 instead of GBP250 as the seller wrote Laughing

The tripod mount is present as you can see it at the bottom of the second picture. It's very small on both the 4/300 and the 2.8/180 and is also 3/8" thread. Watch the focus too as both these lenses focus beyond infinity and are designed to do so.

I did have a stab and was winning until the last few seconds. I have a limit when it comes to manual lenses though.

It was quite a bargain looking at others, but also a bit of a gamble with the vague listing.

Dang, that went cheap!! Cheaper than the Pentacon 300/4 I won the other day!! Unfortunately, shipping to the US would've probably cost another 60£ Laughing

Well double-damn then!! I would've definitely preferred a Sonnar over a Pentacon! Ah, well, I'll just tell myself that the seller would've been one of those types that doesn't ship overseas, for some irrational reason Rolling Eyes

Someone's in for a nasty surprise then... Rolling Eyes

I never looked at the full size pix, just the thumbs to see if the mount was there in answer to Martin's question.
