Well, I stopped by a local pawn shop and picked up two lenses today.

The first is an Accura 135mm 3.5 for FD mount. I was itching to go long on an older Canon T50 I picked up from my father a couple years ago. For $10 USD and a Hoya Pro filter, I couldn't really refuse.

I also casually asked about another lens that caught my eye. It's a Fotomat 24mm 2.8 MC w/Macro lens.

Now, I'm not too sure what mount it is, but I want to say it's an OM mount???? Can anyone confirm? If it is, then I believe there are direct OM-EOS adapters out there. Is it worth going down this road? I've seen some older Zuiko lenses that are gorgeous. Any opinions? I should mention I was able to get this lens for free, so if it isn't worth going down the OM-EOS route, then I can always try selling it, or just keep it on display/collection.

The pictures.... sorry for the shake; cat decided it was going to run into my leg while chasing a fly while I snapped the shot. Rolling Eyes


Is this OM mount?



The purchase:



As always, thanks guys/gals.

That looks like an OM mount to me.

Any 24mm is a bargain at $10.

Fotomat sounds like one of the thousands of merchants brands, the maker could be any third party maker of the late 1970's-early 1980's from its looks. Its certainly not a Zuiko, but it may be quite decent.

A side view of the lens may help someone identify it.

I wonder if the serial beginning with 'K' means anything?
