The mount for this lens is called the MC mount.

Since the lens has the MC Rokkor name on it.
Although it is called the MC mount, the
the manufacturer had named it Minolta mount.
And
Minolta SLR camera at that time in 1975, and
Minolta XE
Minolta X-1
Minolta SRT-101
Minolta SR-T Super
If your camera is above
The lenses with the name “MC ROKKOR”, including the lenses
introduced here, can be installed.
What a surprise, when you attach it to the camera
The mount seems to be designed to be a one-touch, 1/8-turn, and
can be replaced in only 2 seconds.
This was probably a revolutionary specification at the time.

Even other manual focus lenses.
There are other manual focus lenses that are not named “MC”.
I hope to be able to introduce them at the next opportunity.
