JC Penney 80-200 f4.5 macro. I like this lens alot. I'm trying to identufy it,
so I can buy other lenses by the same maker.
To me it looks like it is made by Kobori. The other possibility is Mitake.
Both made simmilar lenses in the same time period.
So take a look and tell me what you think. Any other possible makers?

The Vivitar lenses starting with the number 77 are Kobori made. So if anyone has a 80-200 version can you compare it with my pics.
I couldn't find good enough pics on Ebay. I tried.
Some Formula 5 lenses were Mitake made. Anyone have one. _________________

This is the 80-200 f4 Vivitar that I have -
which looks very similar to the J.C. Penny lens, the major physical difference is the Penny lens has a 52mm filter ring and the Vivitar is 55mm. But I guess that is a fairly minor cosmetic change that made the lens different for each retailer.
The other difference is the Penny lens is f4.5 and the Vivitar is f4, which is perhaps enough to make them entirely different? _________________ LENSES & CAMERAS FOR SALE.....

Thank you. It really does look like the same maker.The pics really helped. None of the listings I found on Ebay had good pics.
I just found on Ebay a Vivitar Kobori in f4.5, so that's cool. They did make
a f4.5 lens.

Hey.,I am not so familiar with the camera lenses since the camera you are using are expensive and I think I can't afford it. But anyway I have my idea, I think the makers of the camera lenses you are discussing are both Japanese. Any of them who made the camera you like will still have the quality. |

I had the Kiron, but couldn't remember if it was f/4 or f/4.5. That was the lens I was thinking about while going through this thread. It was called macro too, right? |

When comparing two lenses in effort to determine if alike, I always count the rows of nubbies on the focus grip.
For instance, using as example the lens photo posted just above by visualopsins, there are 21 rows of nubbies. |
