Mamiya lens on Nikon?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...38464 92&rd=1

I had to laugh at the line indicating this lens is specifically for a Nikon
N90s. Then the question arose, is it really for Nikon at all? A quick
search of Google says "no".

Can you get a screw mount adapter for Nikon? I think that might be a screw
mount. OTOH if it's the Mamiya mount then good luck-)

"Mamiya made at least one Nikon F mount lens, a strange 35/2.8
engraved 'Nikkorex F.'"

at http://www.cameraquest.com/nfrex.htm

"It is my understanding Mamiya even made at least two lenses for
Nikon, which can be identified by their markings as Nikkorex lens
Sekor."

I think I saw something else on the Web not long ago, but can't dig it
up. Anyway, this isn't totally beyond the realm of the possible,
though it still seems extremely unlikely. The lens there doesn't have
the "Nikkorex" name, and it looks rather newer. Probably an M42 lens
for the later auto-exposure cameras.
