This is a tiny lens in T-mount. Surprisingly sharp even wide open.

Never underestimate a Sankor! Wink
Sankors are good value lenses with nice looks and excellent mechanics.
My all time favorite is the 105mm f/2.5, fantastic IQ and Bokeh, a must have lens IMHO.

Do you have a picture of this lens? Surprised

I have the 2.5/105, this lens has the same styling. I will take a picture of it for you.

Hello Ian,

I found a neat little Sankor labeled preset T2 lens 28mm/3.5, but a former owner had apparently lubticated the focusing helical. And remounted the lens wrong; aperture indicator is 90° off. I was curious if it was worth the energy and patience (!) to get it OK again and found your thread. But without any of the pictures. A pity. Disappeared in the latest crash?

Hi all, was looking at.a 135mm Lumax earlier on eBay vintage lenses, had no knowledge of this brand before this morning, now 2 hits in 2 hours!

I've replaced the pics.

I'd say this is a lens worth fixing, it's plenty sharp enough, images have dimensionality, overall, a very good lens imho.

Thanks, I see that I'll have to do my best in fixing (however it can be used as it is).
Nice little thing.

Nice work, I love that difficult to describe "classic look".

Cheers, glad to help.

It's a fairly common lens, seen in very many brands, worth grabbing if you see one as it's always very cheap.
