hello to you one and all
new to photograpy so search for a forum to get some help
recently bought a minolta dynax 404si and bought an extra lens from ebay, got the lens today and long behold it doesnt fit (thanks to the seller):thumbsdown:
my question is can i get an adaptor to make it fit or is it a case of re-sell it
the lens is an hanimex 80-200mm 55dia. no.897159
ive heard of thr m42 but dont think it will work
can put some pics on of the new camera if this will help
:help:
 
hello minibarrow...welcome

did the item description say it would fit a minolta dynax?
 
this is what was said, i ask the question if if would fit the 404 and was told it would,
"I have used this lens few times with my minolta camera . it is like new. Not sure if it fits other cameras but I am sure they are standard."

"On the lens it says C-Macro 1:4.5 f=80-200mm No. 897159 - there is cover, skylight on the lens which protects it."
 
the screw fixing is the same but it has the bayonet protruding affecting the fitting
 
The M42 mount is an old standard SLR lens fitting. The lens may work with your camera if you can find an adaptor but there may be electronic contacts that will be lost and you'd most likely lose infinity focus as well. Tbh I think you'd be best to stick it back on eBay and try to get your money back selling it.
 
welcome

Welcome.

Try www.dyxum.com it's a forum dedicated to the minolta cameras. Although mostly digital there's a lot of minolta lifers on there who will know more about the different types of mount.
