Hello,

Could you please help me with identification of the mount.
Looks like Minolta MD, but hope for Pentax PK.

This is the only photo I received from the seller:

It's certainly not a PK mount lens!

Thank you, I thought it doesn't look like PK, but wasn't certain.

I don't think it is Minolta MD mount either.
Praktica B mount maybe - maybe not - Exakta ...just guessing really
OH

I opened the image on PS to lighten the shadows to see the hole for the lock pin and it seems to be pentax PK mount.
The hole and the diaphragm lug are aligned as in PK mount.

Praktica B has electrical contacts so we can rule that out.

Yes its Pentax K mount. On the left is a Chinon lens if you look the aperture control is in the same position and the little mount locking hole is right next to it.

I stand corrected then!

Well, the good thing is that there's no diaphragm lever protection flange, so the lens could possibly fit without clearance problems.

Thank you all for help.
PK mount was one that I hoped for, but as Spotmatic said there is no diaphragm lever protection flange which fooled me.
Now is time to decide whether buy it or not.
Lens in question is Kiron 28-105 f/3.2-4.5, but it's not that cheap.
