Lot of lenses, need help.

I've got 7 different lenses here, various brands and mounting types I am trying to figure out what they're for. Is there any way I can run the serial numbers besides calling each manufacturer individually?

What I have is:

1.) Ø 55mm Vivitar 75-205mm MC Macro Focusing Zoom NO. 37326814

2.) Auto Sears MC ZOOM 35-70mm 1:3.5 Ø55 100293 199-737540

3.) UNDERGROUND MC 1:3.5/4.5 f=35-70mm 52Ø No. 433852

4.) Ø 49mm Vivitar 28mm 1:28 Wide Angle MC No. 42038631

5.) Olympus OM-SYSTEM F.Zuiko Auto-S 1:1.8 f=50mm 366457

6.) Tristar Aux. Telephoto Lens Distance to Object 2m-∞ (once I find my calipers, I'll get the base thread sizes)

7.) Tristar Aux. Wind Angle Lens Distance to Object 2m-∞ (once I find my calipers, I'll get the base thread sizes)

Also: I am almost certain none of them are for Nikon! I am pretty sure #3 is for a Canon, just no idea of what.

Good luck. Until you find what camera they will fit on, use them as paper weights. :)

Your first Vivitar was made by Tokina and the second one was made by Bauer. Vivitar never had their own lens factory. My suggestion to you, is to Google images of Canon/Nikon mounts and compare the pictures to what you have.

That's what I have been doing, minimal luck on finding them sadly.

The Zuiko is worth something if it is clean...definitely one to study...

The MCs are probably screw mount Pentax stuff I would bet...maybe m42...

I am assuming they are all manual focus lenses. You need to identify the lens mounts. Do you know anything about what cameras they were used on? That would help narrow things down. Otherwise, you will have to just compare the lens mounts against photos of mounts. I'd start out with the obvious ones: Nikon, Olympus, Canon, Minolta, Pentax.
