<p>Thank you for that answer Michael..... there is a single pin next to the threads. Do have another question for you as well about a different lens/mount. Picked up a Minolta MD lens today.. got it from a friend of mine who no longer does any photography, but has had this lens sitting around for a little while. Which adapter would I need to make this work on my AE-1P</p>

<p>To reply to Bill C's answer..... as of right now, The Vivitar lens I have did not have any mounts that came with it. The rear of this lens is threaded with a diameter which I am measuring to be right around 40mm.... Do not know if this will help anyone further answer my original question.<br> Also; I am aware that by using any adapter to help make this lens work for my AE-1, I will have to manually focus the camera.</p>

<p>Hello to all..... Please excuse me if I am posting this in the wrong area. I have been using a Canon AE-1 Program that I inherited from my grandfather for some time now, using only "Canon" specific lenses. Anyways, I have been on the market for a new "longer range" lens; and today, I happened to be at a thrift store somewhat local to me, and I found a Vivitar Tele-Zoom 85-205 lens (No: 22134895). I knew when I purchased it; it would not fit the canon body, however for condition and price, I couldn't pass it up.... Kinda hard to pass up a decent lens in good condition for $12.00 (Was 25; but store was having 1/2 off sale all merchandise). Anyways, I have been on numerous sites; and have seen many adapters, but unsure exactly which one would work for this set-up.... none of the sites specifically break down adapter"fit". I was wondering if anyone could assist me with this matter? Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p>
