I purchased several lenses that they said were Minolta, but they are not. One piece, shown below is a teleconverter ( It says for P/K on the other side) with a Pentax mount, and I bought the adapter, but I need the Vivitar MC 75-205mm lens for Pentax. So the other two lenses are available for trade or free.

The first is a Vivitar 85-205 F3.8 lens. I hope someone can identify the mount. Has attached metal hood, and front and rear cap.

The second is a Star 80-200mm F3.9 lens with an attached 2x teleconverter. The photo shows the bottom of the teleconverter, but I do not know what mount it is. Has front and rear caps, but no hood.

The glass on all the above is sharp and clean, and will be fun for someone with the correct mount. I am open to negotiation to make these useful.

This multiplier will work with Vivitar 75-205mm and I am searching for one.

The mount is for canon

I agree Canon, as in Canon FD for old SLR film bodies and of no use for Canon EOS film or digital bodies. An FD adaptor to a target mirrorless body would put these lenses back in the game.

Great, thanks both of you. Now does anyone have a Vivitar 75-205mm lens for Pentax that they want to trade, or do you want the multiplier?
I guess I can get an FD to FE adapter, and then the "Star" lens would be 160-400mm, manual focus. Could be fun to play with!!

Yup, Canon mount. I may have a Vivitar zoom, I’ll have to check. Mine is either a P/K or Olympus (film) mount. Could be Tamaron.

The first is a Vivitar 85-205 F3.8 lens. I hope someone can identify the mount. Has attached metal hood, and front and rear cap.

The second is a Star 80-200mm F3.9 lens with an attached 2x teleconverter. The photo shows the bottom of the teleconverter, but I do not know what mount it is. Has front and rear caps, but no hood.

If you need a Vivitar zoom for Minolta mount there is a place in Portland Oregon that may have a Series 1 80 to 200. I’ll check (cheap too).

I was going to keep that and buy the 75-205mm Vivitar lens that matches it. But if you have that lens and want the multiplier, I may buy the adapter for the other lenses. Tell me why you want the multiplier. You can PM me if you want.

I have responded to you by PM. Please let me know your preference, as it is holding me up with my plans.

I have ordered an FD to E adapter and will test these lenses this coming weekend. If I keep one, does anyone want the other?

Look at my earlier link, there's one at KEH for $16. Can't beat that!

Thanks. I did buy it prior to your most recent post. An earlier poster said he wanted the "multiplier" and I gave him a chance to buy it prior to my buying the 75-205mm lens. I can't please everybody, and I had to make a decision, so I decided to buy the lens. Now I have three options and eventually will send two to other Hoggers.
