Lens identification please.

[shed driver]

I've just bought a £10 charity shop special - a Sigma 80-200 f/3.5 lens. Sadly I've no idea as to what the fitment is. Can anyone help to identify it. Also, what's it like as a lens.









Many thanks in advance.

No absolutely sure but looks a bit like Canon FD to me.

Looks like about £5.00 too much to me!

I reckon you paid the right price + or - £10. That value should tell you all you need to know, I suppose.

Cheers, I was looking for a cheap film body it would fit. Sadly there were none, hence the question of the fitment.

Did pick up an OM10 with T20 flash and 50mm f/1.8 zuiko lens, all in original leather cases for £5!

Just need to get some 35mm film.

Om10s are lovely little cameras I have a couple. That era Olympus were genuinely nice cameras. Then again Pentax and Nikon weren't exactly turning pups out either.

That's a steal! Great cameras and the Zuiko lenses are superb.

Sadly charity shops will under price a lot of photographic stuff. I console myself that I've brought lots of stuff in over the years so a bargain every now and again is OK

I just thought I would let everyone know that I've managed to solve the mystery. It is a T2 mount, there was a previous (Minolta - T2) converter on the lens.

I've now got an EOS T2 converter and the first few shots appear to have come out OK on my 5d3. It makes a massive change having manual focus, manual aperture etc - it will be rather fun getting back to basics.

If you're looking for interesting colour film, the CineStill 800 is a fantastic film! Lovely colour on it. As for black and white, Foma Retropan is a nice soft black and white film that's fairly cheap.
