The first lens (Alninar 28mm) is a Minolta MD mount as indicated by the "MD" on the aperture ring. It should fit on manual-focus Minolta cameras from the 60's, 70's and 80's. It will NOT fit on any Minolta auto-focus camera body (film or digital)

The second lens (Vivitar 28mm) is a Konica mount, as indicated by the "EE" on the aperture ring. This would be for Konica cameras from the 70's and 80's. It will NOT fit on any Konica-Minolta camera.

As far as the remaining (3rd and 4th) lenses, I don't know.
Hope the partial information helps.

Ken

The third lens in your list, the Focal MC, is an earlier Minolta Manual Focus Mount.
The MC stands for meter coupled. Can't help with the last of these lenses :(

So....... it appears that that this request for information about some lenses carried an ulterior motive. Unlike before, clicking on these links now shows the fact that these lenses are for sale...and my "helpful" comments are copied word-for-word in this worm's description of the lens.

Just another reason not to trust anyone on the internet.

By the way, a word of advice to anyone foolish enough to think of purchasing any of these lenses... they are all of extremely poor quality and would not be worth using for anything more than target practice. Taking pictures with any of them... what a joke!

Hi Ken,
Petr is a nice person, I wouldn't be too hard on the motives. Everyone can't afford "Pro", and in many places people feel fortunate to find affordable lenses of any type. Less than best can sometimes render aesthetics which are pleasing, especially when used by those who have a better artistic eye than I. How else can we explain the popularity of Holga plastic cameras?

It's easy to understand your mistrust, but Petr seemed sincere in his "thanks". He's been on Pbase for some time now, and has galleries which I've often enjoyed browsing. Perhaps in this case, "you're welcome" might be a better response. You were good to give the ID's, hope you'll consider continuing your help. Don't let the bad apples spoil the bunch. :wink:
