I found this lens for 35€ with shipping, in a good condition.

It's normally a "U"/m42 mount :

But...:

....It was adapted and I don't know this mount.
An idea???

Looks like a Contax/Yashica adapter to me. You should be able to unscrew it if it is not glued.

Welcome Turtle

Ooops, I am wrong. It is a M42 to Minolta adapter.

This is bargain for the lens and the adapter. Congrats

I have the Elicar vhq 90mm f2.5 in canon FD mount by all accounts it's the same lens, will post some samples when I get it.

Its a good lens I like it. I paid £50 with it attached to a canon AE-1

Yes, I believe they are the same (despite the alleged "2.5"/"2.8" difference).

I have the Vivitar version, and, while I like the two Bokina 90/2.5's a bit better for IQ, I find that the Vivitar 90/2.8 is a fun lens to use -- it's still interesting to me how the lens seems to triple its length from both ends when it's racked all the way out. Smile
