Fellow member nukemall has an interesting article about Samyang on his website -

Google translate leaves a lot to be desired, but I think he concurs with Pancolart's view. _________________ LENSES & CAMERAS FOR SALE.....

Out of curiosity I recently bought a set of gear just for these three 'bastard' Exaktars.
35mm 1.2.8 is marked 'lens made in Korea'.
135mm 1:2.8 is identically marked.
Both are absolutely identical cosmetically to Your lens.
50mm 1.2.8 is 'lens made in Japan' and it is also cosmetically bit different, very likely comes from different plant.
These are all M42 and auto-only lenses with generic and similar to each other back and front caps with no brand markings on caps at all.
I guess we have the whole line covered here. 28mm, 35mm, 50mm, and 135mm. |

Several years ago I bought what looks like the same lens under the Carenar brand with a Topcon mount. I've never used it.

Agreed. A bit mushy opened up but stopped down a bit, looks ok in crops. It has character anyway, even if one doesn't like the character! |
