Photography Question

what will this vivitar 135mm lense fit?


 
 
i have a vivitar 135mm lense. these are the markings it has on it. vivitar, 135mm 1:2.8, auto telephoto, no.28921258, (a circle with a line through it) 55mm, lens made in japan, and N/AI. I am including a picture of it. I don't recognize the mount, but have tried it on both a vivitar, and a konica camera, and it fits neither one. it is a nice looking lense. but I have to know what it goes to first before I decide what to do with it. any help in this would be greatly appreciated. thank you.

  This lens fits the Nikon AI mount. If it's a manual focus lens, the serial number indicates it was made for Vivitar by Komine Ltd. in 1979.

  "(a circle with a line through it) 55mm,"

This symbol, Ø (alt-0216 on most Windows machines), denotes the diameter of the front filter threads.

  thank you Will & Jon. sorry about the duplicates. I didn't realize I was still sending the rest of it while I was just trying to get it to upload the picture. I am a newbie. and it is good to know that this lense will not fit either camera I have so far. now I have to decide buy another camera, or sell the lense. lol thanks for your help & have a nice day.
