I bought this about an hour ago.
The grip reminds me of Tomioka (although it's possible that many other brands used that kind of grip).Not much is written on the front, not even the lens diameter.
I didn't manage to find anything regarding that lens, which i think is either too good, or too bad.
Is it possible to guess the manufacturer? is there anyone with hands-on experience?

Thanks in advance Smile

I believe your lens to be manufactured by Sun and of early to mid 1970s vintage. These Sun lenses were sold by Hanimex, Tamron "F System", Soligor and probably many others. I have one buried around here somewhere. I've forgotten whose name appears on it!

Additional: Mine is branded Miida, a contraction used by Marubeni Iida Corp. The Chinon/Hanimex/Soligor/Sun/Tamron "F"/Weltblick lens is similar in appearance to the Tokina 2.8/28. Differences are the Sun lens uses the Nikon/Pentax focus orientation and uses 62mm filters, vs 58mm for the Tokina.

I had it in soligor brand.

Average rendición. Capable of good pics.

Some CA in wider apertures.
