Need HELP identifying lens... Hanimex 200mm telephoto?
I can't find any info about this lens that was given to me. Can
someone tell me what type of mount this is, if it's a decent lens, what exactly I might use it for and how much it might be worth. http://img43.exs.cx/img43/2295/img53007rl.jpg http://img18.exs.cx/img18/6523/img53011ft.jpg http://img18.exs.cx/img18/9468/img53028sb.jpg http://img18.exs.cx/img18/2212/img53209oh.jpg Please email me if possible. THANKS! |

Very difficult to tell what mount it might be for. In any case it probably
is not worth alot of money. maybe a couple of hundred CDN dollars or 150-180 USD max. are there any letters insscribed on the mount that might tell for which camer it is meant to be used on?

http://rick_oleson.tripod.com/index-99.html I'm gonna say it's a Pentax K mount. Hmm. On Fri, 21 Jan 2005 23:47:07 -0500, "Gord Stephan" wrote: Very difficult to tell what mount it might be for.

THANKS! Hanimex was/is an umbrella company in Australia that purchased, rebadged and sold a range of photographic products mainly during the late 70's to early 90's. I'd be surprised if the lens you have is anything special or of outstanding quality. Hanimex gear was always aimed at the cheaper end of the market. I don't know if Hanimex sold outside of the Australian market. HTH. Glenn |

The construction of that lens looks a lot like the Vivitars of that era, mostly built by Kiron and Komura. -- Skip Middleton http://www.shadowcatcherimagery.com |
