Most of my Koreans were / are zooms.

Sears Auto Zoom (KAR) 070-210/4.0 # 8604242xx
Sears Auto Zoom (KAR) 080-200/4.0 # 8610112xx

Albinar ADG Zoom (K-M) 080-200/3.9 # 841186xx
Albinar ADG Zoom (N/AI) 080-200/3.9 # 871516xx
Chinar ======== (K-M) 080-205/4.5 # 40445xx
Chinar ======== (K-M) 135/2.8 === # 403xx
Sears Auto MC == (K-M) 135/2.8 === # 8401017xx
Sears Auto Macro (KAR) 135/2.8 === # 8609010xx
Sears Auto Zoom (KAR) 028-070/3.5 # 8703090xx
Sears Auto Zoom (M42) 080-200/4.0 # 8408300xx

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!

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

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.

[uberprutser]

These have a sticker made in Korea.

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.
