I got this manual lens Bushnell(Division of Bausch and Lomb) 1:3.5 f=70~220mm Automatic Macro and Zoom. I want to use this lens on my Canon Rebel XS. I need somebody to help me to identify what is the mount on this lens and what is the correct adapter that i can buy to be able to used this.

Thanks in advance.

Is that a M42 lens with a Pentax K adapter on it? Question

Looks like it to me ...lucky you, You have scored an M42 lens with hopefully a k mount adapter on it Very Happy You should be able to remove the silver adapter with some force...rubber glove for better grip or pop it in a k mount camera and unscrew the lens and take the k mount adapter off the camera.

Thanks guys for all your input, I will give a try to remove the adapter when I got home and will update later. If it's m42, any suggestion of good adapter for canon rebel xs adapter.

Most chrome M42 to Canon EOS adaptor with(or without) flange works well. You may consider these with AF confirm chip installed. Check the sticky Mount Adapter Reviews post.

I tried to remove the mount on top of lens and you are all correct guys there is K-mount adapter and the original mount is M42.

If looking at this M42 adapter for Canon, any comment if this is good. thanks.

If it is an original Pentax k mount adapter you could sell it and make some money back.In Australia the originals sell for a ridiculous amount of money.

Thanks for all your help guys, got the adapter and tried a few shots. Not bad, i am impress with the pictures considering everything needs to be done manually. I post a couple of sample pictures. Taken almost 5km away.
