Anybody knows anything about zomm brand Sun 60/135 ?

I found one so cheap in my country, that tempt to me, but if it's so-so, don't purchase.

I saw this lens the first time in the french "photo-cine-revue" April 1970 issue . May be the first production year was 1969 .... I found this lens so-so, with a greenish cast and overall weak contrast.

What a coincidence ! I just got one of those yesterday !

Very cool design, probably later 1970's.

I will test it today if I get time.

I had a Sun zoom on trial in Italy in 1972 - too expensive for me then, but I remember it was a better than decent lens on my Exakta
