Today I received a mystery lens ... an Ensinor 24/2.8 macro. I never heard of it before, so I didn't want to pay more than 10 euros for it. Seems that I made a decent purchase:
Anyone who knows more about this specific lens? Thanks! |

Looks nice indeed, but I've never heard of it.. I will now look though. 
Is it on a bellows?
Edit: Ah, found it - not on bellows.

Yes, they were all processed with Canon DPP, "Standard" picture style and default sharpening setting. For the last one, I put contrast to +1.

Yes, that was the only reference that I could find as well.
A lucky find, I guess.
Here is a real macro shot

It makes the pen very desirable. I don't have that one but I do have a few older Pelikan with Günther Wagner and D.R.P engraved on them. I guess, like my MF lens, I enjoy using the older pens (as long as they don't leak  )

How about reading my answer above?

But if you mean post processing in Photoshop? No, I only adjusted contrast and picture style in Canon DPP. The pictures were shot in RAW. |

A good find for that money.
Wide angel macro can be very nice. |

Not easy to find out about the lens but I read good reports about it before. I had one that came with a Zenit body but it was too badly damaged to be any use I'm afraid. Such a pity it does look to be good, I think martinsmith99 has got one too.  |

i am bumping up the thread.
I also got an Ensinor 24/2.8 in M42 mount.
I also found out that this lens is sold as Super Paragon and perhaps the manufacturer is Ozone (it is sold as OZECK) ...
According to our member PBfacts Ozone is a manufacturer of high quality low-cost lenses ...

Ozeck / Super Ozeck is the trademark used by Ozone optical (wich usually sell it's production to other major trade marks : soligor, vivitar ...)
Quality is usually very good |

I have this lens and I'm comparing it to a 3.5/24 Super Tak. I think the Ensinor is at least equal to it if not a bit better.
This lens is also sold under the Clubman brand.

The Ensinor is light, sharp, has reasonably good colors, virtually no distortion, and doesn't flare. Good lens, I would say.

OK I've been looking for the Ensinor a while and, randomly, just found one of these in "Super Paragon" guise in my "lenses for fixing box"  I clearly have too much stuff
Anyway, I'm preusming it's the same lens...it has macro up to 1:4. I always thought it was a Makinon? Anyway, I need to fix the iris (stuck wide open) and change the mount from FD to Y/C or M42, so I'll soon be looking for other Super Paragons to rob parts from!

Actually I had guessed that the lens was made by Cima Kogaku, but your thoughts may very well be valid too. Let us hear how you like the lens, once it is fixed
Edit: from Wikipedia:
Cima Kogaku had a patented[5] system that allowed them to build common lens bodies, and add the appropriate lens mount at the factory. The Pentax version was only K mount, not KA mount. They mostly sold their lenses on an OEM basis, with them sold under a variety of different brands. In the UK, they were sold by Photax as Super-Paragon PMC lenses. Tokyo Kogaku sold them as AM Topcor lenses for their Topcon RM300 camera. Cima Kogaku also sold them directly under the Cimko brand. (Some of the lenses below may not have ever been sold under the Cimko brand.)
Might be reasonable that we both have a Cima Kogaku lens then.

Apologies, you are correct, I meant Cimko.
