Of course the questions of the day for myself and “deadwolfbones” is what happened to the mounts on the two lenses we bought? You have to wonder how they lost them, my seller was surprised when I sent him pictures of what the mount should look like. I believe he had no clue the lens was missing a part.

Hi Phil
I bet the rear end is attached to any of these lenses, independent of vintage, via the same (stupid, I have to say) bayonett - so the rears should be interchangeable. Just to get one for interchangeing is the challenge, as I only saw exactly 1 of these sold separately via ebay in the last three years.
I would not expect the humble seller, to spot the problem, if he does not really know the lens. So I would trust, that it was a genuine mistake on his side and not an effort to deceive somebody...
