I kept the first two and sold the excessive others. Except for mounts, two of the four 80-200s were identical and the other two were close. All the 135/2.8s were very different. The Chinars build is quite distinct from the Albinars+Sears, so I assume two different lensmakers, Samyang and an unknown other. The Samyang serial numbers show production during 1984-87. Was that their hot period!

Those lenses are most intriguing for me because they have some attributes common to Sun made lenses. For instance their mount and A/M switch. |
I agree on that. Just comparing 2.8/35mm and 2.8/135mm that i have SUN and Korean version. Seems like SUN is responsible for this Korean line.

Typical Samyang, there is a very common but actually rather good 2.8/135 under many brands that has the same styling.

Is it Samyang or SUN subsidiary company? Carenars from Korea are different from SUN copies. One might doubt the same company from Korea made them.
Some photos of my distant twins.
Few valid questions that arise: are they of the same quality? Symbols that separate Japan made lenses from made in Korea? Did SUN stop production in Japan when it launched Korean? Was it the same company or Korea just bought SUN license and know-how?
Trying to answer first: beside obvious SUN's triangle / diamond, Japan made lenses have DOF scale and focusing scale in the same level.
Focusing ring ends differently. As you can see older 2.8/35mm SUN (Weltblick) has more differences, but optics surely is the same.

Pancolart, it's very impressing. I would say the Korean 135mm resembles some 135mm F3.5 lenses we identified as Sun made
May be both Sun and Korean maker have sourced their parts from the same maker or it was some sort of cooperation between them. |

I'd say the one on the left is definitely a Samyang:
These are definitely Samyangs, that 2.8/135 is the one I referred to, it's seen under literally a dozen or more brand names, I've had it a an Exaktar and a couple of other names I forget now.

I won't be surprised if that's a Chinese made camera that has been relabelled for the North Korean market. The lens is probably the Haiou-64 copy of the Helios-44.
