Lens mount ID

[jakeblu]

Hi, just bought this lens today at the car boot, thought it was worth a punt at £2. I would appreciate any advice on the lens mount so I buy the correct adapter for my OM-D.









Any help is appreciated.

I'm guessing Yashica Contax mount, by the YC on the aperture ring.

Yeah I spotted that after I posted

Is it a standard mount then, will any of the Contax CY C/Y Lens To Micro M4/3 adapters work ok?

Bear in mind I've never owned or seen a YC mount in the flesh, so I'd double check with Google Images before buying anything.

They should do, I'm not aware of any limitations - as long as it has an aperture ring, it's usually okay.

It is a C\Y mount. Some Paragon lenses are VG, not sure of this one though.
