Picked up a 2.8 28mm lens for next to nothing that I thought was a Minolta
mount, but it doesn't fit my XE-7. It's a bayonet, the backcap says
"Asahi." Pentax mount maybe? Is there an adapter out there perhaps?

Thanks for any suggestions.

The pentax did have a bayonet mount, so maybe it's for those models, not
sure if it would be a topcon/exacta mount.

There are those who believe that life here, began out there, far across the
universe, with tribes of humans, who may have been the forefathers of the
Egyptians, or the Toltechs, or the Mayans. Some believe that they may yet be
brothers of man, who even now fight to survive, somewhere beyond the
heavens.
