They are AF lenses so they are not MD mount as that was the older manual focus lens mount. Plus they are not really "Macro", but they do focus closer than the older lenses.

So is “AF” the mount type?

Minolta changed their mount with the introduction of autofocus lenses. I believe the mount is called the "A" mount. They will work on all Konica-Minolta DSLRs as well as Sony "A" mount DSLRs

Ok, I have an a vintage Konica which is a K/AR mount. That's probably what they are.

No I still have my Konica Autoreflex T3 and these lenses won't fit it. The Konica mount went the way of the DoDo once AF came onto the market. When they merged with Minolta (and I have several Minolta cameras as well both AF and MF) the Minolta AF mount survived, the Konica AR didn't.

I have a Konica FT-1 and it takes the AR mount. The K&D Concept adapter that I use to mount the lens on the Fuji X mount is a K/AR - FX.

Yes, you can find and use an adapter but why? You lose certain features when doing that...I went the adapter route years ago. I would only use them on my mirrorless cameras anymore and even then sparingly...

Would the FOTODIOX PRO SONY (a)-NIX adaptor tell you what mount they are.

I purchase the adaptor so I could use the on a Nikon camera.

The fact that it says "Sony and A" shows that's it's the Sony A/ Minolta A mount"

The reason why is that in order to use the lens on my Fuji camera I have to use an adapter. Don't really understand what your argument is. Don't think you do either.

Of course, if you never mentioned adapting them to another camera line much less a mirrorless one. I could not have read your mind. You mentioned Konica, Not Fuji's mirrorless in prior posts. Had you done so earlier, my responses would have been different..
