Vivitar 220/Sl and 3300SE


I've finally work out my trustworthy 220/SL that I took in trade for a bounced pay check at a newspaper where I worked in 1976 ... but I've found another, as well as a Vivitar 3300SE ... what mount lens do I need? It's been sooooo long on the old 220 that I don't recall if it's a Pentax or what ... and what can you tell me about the 3300?

By the way, about 16 years ago, I tried a Konica FT-1 and wore it out rather quickly.

I'm a rail fan and shoot lots of train shots and beat around rail yards and the 200 just held up so well.
Thanks

  Dear John:
Say, didn't that 220/SL take thread mount lenses? The designation for that mount was P-42, I believe.
The 3300SE sounds a bit newer, so if it takes bayonet mount lenses, I'm almost certain they'll need to be in the Pentax K-mount. Those are plentiful, used and new.
