Jim, the contacts on the Osawa mounts will be for the Mamiya 'Crossover'
system. They're not auto-focus lenses.

The mention of electrical contacts on the mount.  Virtually the only lenses
with contacts on the mount are ones designed for AF systems.  I'm just
guessing on the other lens, in that they're both from the same 'estate'
sale, aren't they?

Two (well, three) questions:
1) Does "AF" here mean autofocus?  And if so, what part of the information
enabled you to know that?
2) On the 35-105mm, how did you know it's Nikon, instead of my guess of
Mamiya?

Thanks.  --Linda
