Is this a Nikon F mount? Is it adaptable to Canon EOS? With standard adapter?
Thank you

Yes it is Nikon (according to cap). Adaptable to Canon?
Why not.

Looks like Nikon. The flanges and aperture actuating linkage are in the right places.
It seems to have a curious fitting in place of the usual "ears", but its in the right place for that too.
It looks rather worn, but not necessarily damaged.

You never can be absolutely certain of these things from poor photos of course. The last thing to check on for certainty is the location of the mount locking slot/hole.

Thank you both for your replies. Unfortunately this is the only photo of the mount. It does have N-IF
printed on the mount does that give any more identification?

It would have the mount type printed on the mount usually only if the mount is interchangeable.
Not always of course, but usually.
If we knew what mount system it is we could check on the N-IF marking.
Where does it say N-IF, and what is the brand and type of lens ?

Definitely the Nikon F mount and if the cap fits 'Nippon Kogaku' is the old name for Nikon. Looking at the aperture activator, it goes a lot further than my 135 3.5 i.e. f22 so the minimum aperture is either f64 or it is a much longer lens - 400mm or thereabouts. Perhaps an independent brand, not only interchangeable mounts have the camera brand on them, lenses do too. I see no sign of a ' metering prong' and its definitely not Ai coupled so it will probably be an early 60's pre-set lens

It is a Vernon Edonar (Tamron) 5,6/300. You will recognize it.

Here you see the initials.


Thank you

Thanks,
So to Canon eos I would just use a standard Nikon to eos adapter?

That looks like a T/T2 mount (with an adapter for a mount I can't recognize – Nikon, maybe?).

OP's lens is definitely an old Tamron, same as seen in Adaptamatic mount.
But this "Vernon Edonar" unit is a fixed mount version.

The mount is Nikon then. Tamron did mark their fixed mounts sometimes.

lens from valjo is most likely T-mount I agree.
The mount says Petri to me.
Only likely alternative is Praktina and I suspect it isn't. Not a lot of T-mounts made for Praktina I think.

Only way to be sure is to check for the locking pin on one of the lugs, which is probably the one not in the pictures.

Thanks Luis,

I decided to buy this lens after reading your comments about it (or it's Tamron equivalent) and considering the price on my small budget.Actually the shipping was almost two times the price, but still it turned out as cheap as any 300mm I can find out here. The Tair is supposed to be good, but would cost two to three times as much and is heavy which is not very attractive to me.
Now I will buy a Nikon to Canon EOS adapter so when it arrives I will be ready to try it!

Valjo's silver mount reminds me of the odd ball Tokina removable mount,the lens from what I can see looks sort of like the Hanimex 3.5/135 that I have (in the same styling as the Tele tokina) except with a silver M42 mount. Not sure what that mount is but could it be a Minolta SR?

You won't be dissapointed with the 'Tamron' - I'm sure the Tamron is so close to the Tair that it makes no real difference, except when it comes to using the lens. The Tamron is just about half the weight, and isn't full of Russian tractor axle grease.

Glad to hear this opinion, that is what I was thinking. I believe the Tamron can be used hand held without so much
problem. Would it heavier than a Jupiter 21M do you think?

Here's mine, an Adapt-a-matic, 795g. Still lighter than the Tair and the Jupiter. I am happy it
is so light.

I thought you would have them in your collection and just hold them in your hands to find out. Laughing
Thanks
