Very nice lenses. Not to be fooled, I have the 28mm version made by Cimko (3rd version) as well as the Ensinor 24mm.
They both are tak sharp and very pleasing bokeh. Here is the Cimko 28mm third version






Regards,
Gavin

I think the Super Paragon might possibly be the same, but every Super Paragon I've seen is different and a Cimko, but Super Paragon / Paragon was the house brand of a UK company called Photax, and they might well have sourced lenses from different manufacturers.


I've found this post:

http://forum.mflenses.com/looking-for-24mm-lens-advice-needed-t42561,start,30.html#1164278

where Super Paragon looks pretty much the same as my Ensinor. So I guess you are right in saying they sourced lenses from different manufacturers. Maybe the letters PMC II on the front ring are suggesting different versions/generations ?

You're right. I've found this thread, started by no one else but Lloydy:

Looks similar but not the same. I guess I should take it off the list then.
