This is an old manual lens that I don't need. It great condition. Not sure if it was ever used. It was found in an old camera bag that belonged to my mother. I'm asking $50.

What camera system is it for?

momo3boys · Nov 4, 2012

Canuk, I have no idea. Here are a few pictures of it. I'm a Nikon girl and all I have ever owned were Nikon lenses...

so, it will correctly mount to your Nikon, but it's just manual focus?

momo3boys · Nov 4, 2012

It does not mount to my Nikon. It is for an old camera that was my moms. I have no idea what kind it was. I was hoping someone would know more about it than me! lol

Post a few close-ups of the mount itself.

how did you come up with the price for it without knowing what it mounts to? that could make a pretty big difference in the price.

It looks similar to some old Pentax K-mount lenses I have.

It was from my mom. She wasn't into photography much and found this in her closet. She just doesn't remember what kind of camera she had.

Do you happen to know what mounts are more valuable than others? (I have a similar Vivitar f/2.8, although 24mm, with M42 mount, and was wondering what its market value would be.)

To the OP, I don't know what mount yours is. Good luck with the sale.

I didn't realize that the mount would determine the value. I merely looked up the lens on amazon and found an avg price of similar lenses. Honestly the price is negotiable, I just am looking for some cash for new equipment and thought it would be a fair price.

It looks like a Minolta MD mount. I hope this helps. Just look up that mount to see how it changes the value.

Good luck with your sell.

MC and MD mounts are for Minolta cameras. MC mount is older Minolta for late 70's. early 80's. MD mount is late 80's early 90's. I got one, hope it helps.
