HI Brenda. It was nice of your friend to think of you by giving you the lens. I think I would try to find the adapter ring that would work with your AE-1. No, it is not a name brand lens that too many people recognize, but it is a pretty super long telephoto lens, and even if it is not that great of quality, you probably could experiment with it... try and get some pictures of birds in the trees or squirrels, etc. My suggestion is to phone a pretty large company that sells lots of new and used accessories... try B&H Photo or Adorama..look them up online and get their 1800 #. It is not something you could order online because you have to talk to a sales rep to describe exactly what you have and what you need. I feel sure you could find an adapter and probably for no more than $15.00. Give it a try... if you don't have many lenses anyway, this would just be another you could add to your photo gear and there is much creative photograhy done with unusual lenses. Good luck.... Use that lens, girl!!!

One word: eBay.

Either there or KEH would be a great place to sell any unwanted photo gear. It's not taking up your closet space, you make some money, and someone gets some new gear. Everybody wins.

Paper weight, sorry if it doesn't fit your Camera then it is of no use except for a paperweight.

You asked, I told....Those are the facts!

You may find a an adapter that will convert it to your camera, but is is only a $50 lens, so you may find the adapter for your camera will cost more than the lens.

Send it back to your Friend, and see what he says. Tell him what Camera you have, and that they are not Compatible.

If he is Realy your Friend, then he will get you the Right Lens.

If he wont take it back, then Sell it on Craigslist.

Ebay will cost you abit to sell it.

Find someone who Has a Camera that can Use a Kimunor Lens, and see if they Want it.
