Default what is a fixed mount? m42?
Hi all, just a quick question: is a fixed mount in fact m42?

I came across a vivitar 28mm 2.8 online. But the seller told me its a fixed mount lens and she knew nothing more. The (very blurry) pic she sent me looks vaugely like a m42.

Does anyone know if it is in fact a m42? Or could it be other mount?

Many thanks

A fixed mount is an eBay term for 'I don't have a clue what I'm doing' :)

Sounds like the seller is describing a fixed mount vs an interchangeable mount like the Tamron Adaptall2 system.

I think this is most likely the correct answer.
