The 21mm f/4 Super Angulon was made in both screw mount and bayonet mount.
They made 1462 original screw type and 5292 in the bayonet. They were made
from 1958-1963. Many of the bayonet type were converted back to screw mount,
and an adapter was used to use it on the M cameras. If you can find an
original screw mount be prepared for sticker shock. The lens with shade and
finder can be very expensive. A converted lens will cost much less, but is
still pricey. This lens is famous for the vignetting it causes. Regards,
