I see what structure that's intending to be, up to all the details.

My memory here is going, and I will have to consult the forums on who Cosina made lenses for and how to identify them (here of this era). Particularly for the style of lens below, which I assume is the one as a Cosinon-Z.

(Photos taken from eBay listing):




I have seen Miranda (Dixons in UK photographic brand) lenses be Cosina ones around early 1980s (when they acquired the branding?).

When I did research for my 28-50mm topic I found the Cosina in Petri, Hoya, Cosinon and Vivitar

Uh-oh ... not so awesome Laugh 1

Anyway, seems like a pretty complicated design (Mamiya ZE 3.5-4.5/28-50mm has only 9 lenses and certainly isn't worse)!
