The Danubia (8,0/500) is the grandson of the "Wundertüte" by Beroflex.

The others I don't know.

As Carsten says, they look like a design that's the latest version of one that's been around for ages. They are ok, from what I know, but ebay has several versions of that for peanuts.
The other, larger, drainpipes look like the ones that can be bought new via ebay for a third of the price.

Yes, it seems to be the same thing as this:
Click here to see on Ebay

Edit:
Ok, now it gets interesting. Opteka seems to be the "manufacturer". What was the maker of the original "Wundert?te"?
Edit 2:
Samyang the maker of new versions?

Rbt Monaghan's site mentions Samyang as the producer of modern "Wundert?te" - I suspect the originals were knocked out by Tamron, Kiron, et al, as the design had probably been around for years and I seriously doubt if there were any patent issues (not that that would have bothered many fledgeling lens makers then, anyway).

I bought a "wundertüte" in 1969 which was branded MEPRO , and I found this name associated with kominar "komine" ? ) on another lens . that's all I know about these lenses.

I think these can really be manufactured by Samyang: http://www.syopt.co.kr/eng/product/manual_zoom.asp. But why every site that sells them says "Made in Japan" Confused
