Re: 'H' serial number prefixes
I wonder if the 'H' stands for Hoya, that Allied Impex subcontracted Hoya who then subcontracted with various manufacturers Sun, Komine, Tokina, etc.? Could explain the many manufacturers and brands of 'H' serial prefix lenses.

H prefix brands:
Focal
Soligor
Sun
Vemar
Anyone know of any other H prefix lenses?

I have a 35mm/2.8 Soligor preset that starts with H48xxx. It is an m42 mount.

Thanks Blue!  M42 mount makes the generation count 6. Can we see a photo please? Is it the same body as the H6 Komine preset leftmost in first post second photo? The H6 is a T-mount with T-M42 adapter.

Now let's make this mess even bigger (or possibly clearfy something).
I found 2 more 28mm in my tobecleaned box. Serial # starting with 77 and 27. They could easily be put into same family then big&heavy zoom 4.5/70-235, one of my favorite wides 3.8/21mm, and really good built 5.5/300mm serial: 17107973, much more fat version (compared to Edgars). All family on 5th photo.
Let me add two more. Later MC 4.5/300mm (left side of photo 6). Serial 37... (this one looks the same as all C/D series - i also have 200mm and 400mm). And finally funny slim T2 #H76... Second from the right on last photo. Anyway Soligor rocks  !

And I'm curious about other letter-prefix serials. Excluding Europeans:

I think the C on your Lentar indicates Cimko. A diamond outline reference mark for the distance and aperture scales is another Cimko characteristic.

Yes, a hollow-inset diamond is indeed there. Thanks!

I have a Mamiya Sekor 28mm/2.8 lens that is identical to
the Soligor CS (fixed), '168' serial # prefix, closest focus 0.45m, auto,
except for being marked as Mamiya Sekor.
Based on some lenses I have, the "H" prefixed serial numbers probably mean they were made by Tokina.
