This lens was found in with some photo equipment after a friend died this past spring. It does not fit any of the cameras he left ( Sony or Nikon ).Any one know what mount this is?

actually do not know, but if it looks like a lens, acts like a lens, works like a lens, well, it must be a lens....It would help if you put a picture of the object with your question. LOL.
Rich...

Looks a lot like the minolta/sony a mount. As in "that's it".

Edit: Forgot to mention that it is the original minolta version which they updated to an 8 pin connection shortly before being aquired by sony.

Hard to tell for sure, but it appears much like the old Pentax bayonet mount.

I'm guessing a Minolta autofocus lens. Based on the pins. I believe these came after the older version Minolta manual lenses?

That's an odd photo to post to try and identify a lens. How about showing the sides and front of the lens? Isn't there anything printed on the lens to identify it?

If you want to know what it is, it is a Sigma lens. You want the mount type? Simple, read the lens model on the side of the body and google it. 'Sigma ~model~'.

Something else, this is in the wrong section.

Its a Sigma lens in Minolta A Mount. It will fit the Sony non-mirrorless cameras as well.

Thanks for your help in identifying the lens mount. Since it does not have the eight pin connections it must’ve the older version.

Could be old Pentax

I would forget about the lens mount and will look at some ID on the lens that will show on what camera it will fit.
By looking at a lens mount it is practically impossible to tell the lens type and what camera it fits.

Wrong....I know that it is a Sigma 100-300 and there are no other markings to indicate what camera it will fit. I think that others on this thread have it right it is a Minolta/Sony A mount.
