Hi all.I recently picked up some camera lens`s from an auction.Not quite sure if i got a bargain or not:) .They didnt come with any information etc,the only thing i have to go on is what is written on the lens`s.My intentions are to just sell these on ebay.The problem i have is that i dont know what they will fit:confused: Can anyone please enlighten me on how i can identify what camera they will fit.They all look to have the same fittings,but other than that i am totally in the dark.Any help would be most appreciated.Thank you.
What's written around the front of the lens? What's written on the body of the lens? How about some photos?

thank you for the help rhys.here is some pics of the first lens.
Kind of hard to tell, but I'm guessing the O/OM refers to an olympus mount.

The "screw on bit" is a UV filter.

What you've got is an inexpensive Vivitar zoom lens with a Cokin UV filter attached. The lens focal length is 28-200 mm, and the maximum aperture ranges from f/3.5 to f/5.3. The diameter of the lens is 72 mm, as is the filter size.
