Just bought this 500mm tele from ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=180184692223&ssPageName= STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=008
No brand name on it.
I have a Hanimex Practica (42mm mount). I figured that would be what this has, from the description. But it isn't...
It threads in about a 1/2 turn & stops.
The threads do not appear to be damaged, in fact they screw into the bayonet adapter just fine(which behaves the same way if I attempt to thread it on to any of my other 42mm lenses).
So it is 42mm, (or darn close)but a different thread?
If anybody knows what it is, any pointers to an adapter? |

The camera end looks the same as my 500mm Vivitar
that I use on Nikon F2AS. The threaded end of both
are designed for a screw on 'T' adapter to fit your camera body.Check out lens/camera adapter rings.

You have to pick up a t-mount for the camera you want. Looks like a cambron or spirotone...Don |

I should add, even if the threads on the lens matched those on the camera, the adapter ring
is required to space the lens enough to achieve
focus at infinity.

KEH.com often has generic brand T-mount adapters relatively cheaply. |
