I have an Elicar Auto Zoom 85-205mm f/3.8 lens (serial no. 493302) and I’m trying to identify its camera mount. Based on the bayonet shape and coupling tabs, what mount standard does this lens use?

It looks like an old Minolta SR mount lens. The notch in the bayonet tab in your 4th and 5th pictures are a dead giveaway for being a Minolta SR/MC/MD mount.
The lack of a shutter-preferred autoexposure lug means it is not an MD lens. The riveted tab is the meter coupling tab, indicating this is an MC lens.

Generated from our catalog & community — verify before relying on it.
Based on the bayonet shape and coupling details described, this appears to be a Minolta SR mount lens. More specifically, the notch in the bayonet tab is characteristic of the Minolta SR/MC/MD family. Because it lacks the later shutter-priority autoexposure lug, it is not MD. The riveted meter-coupling tab indicates it is most likely an MC-type Minolta mount lens.
So the best identification is: Minolta SR mount, likely MC version.
If you want to adapt it, look for adapters described as compatible with Minolta SR / MC / MD lenses.
