Can anyone ID this lens? It looks a bit different from anything I own. It is a Japenses made lens but I have no idea who manufactured it.

The auto /manual switch is differnt from all my lenses and the scale marker looks different although it is a bit like my Tokinas.

Finish remind me for a Prakticar branded 24mm lens that was really crap, I hope yours is better.

Crying or Very sad

I havent used this lens yet. It was a throw in with a ST705 I just bought. If it's crap I'll put it on ebay... Cool

Not too hard to make an avarage 135mm lens , so I am pretty sure it will be not crap, but also pretty sure it will be not your favourite one. It will not fetch more than a few bucks on Ebay due unkown brand.
