This is a 28mm lens with a Nikon Ai-s mount, it is not marked. Can anyone take an educated guess as to who made this lens?

Looks like the typical late 70s/80s lens from Japan.
Could be manufactured by almost any manufacturer (Cosina, Tokina, Kino, Komine...)
Sorry, no way for me to tell.

"MC" and "MC-Auto" may have also been another trademark for whoever was using the "Makinon" brand.
Well, "MC" probably just means "multicoated", but I mean whoever was calling these lenses just "MC".
Thats about as generic a name I can image, come to think of it.
