This is off a mir-1 lens with SN 794250:



Is this some sort of kiev mount and what would be the appropriate adapted for canon EOS?

-thanks in advance,

Minolta - and modified from something else?

That is so cool. But how did a minolta mount find its way onto a mir-1, I didn't know they made them for it, or you mean to say this was a DIY type project?

It looks like a home made Minolta mount.

I think kansalliskala nailed it. Kiev-10 mount. Take a look here:

Thanks for all the responses. The aperture ring appears to be internal:


The seller thought it was something like a Leica M mount. That does look like a kiev, unfortunately. A beautiful antique, but unusable for now.

If you read the article that I've linked, you would learn that the plastic case is supposed to have the flange and it's not that difficult to mount that flange into Canon FD adapter...

Yes, but then don't you lose infinity focus or is there a workaround without a glass adapter?

It is soviet mir-1 automat from kiev camera. There was no aperture rings and aperture sets from camera.
I used this lens barel to convert my triplet 78 to canon eos. There are no adapters to this bayonet cause it was rare system also in post sovier contries.
There was another modification of mir in m42 version and soviet optics (lens blocs) were same. So back-distance perfect fit to dslr like canon ef. No need to use any glass adapters in conversion process.
