I have notice whilst searching that there are 2 basic styles of "Berolina" branded lenses. There is the ISCO versions, usually black or zebra and made in Germany. But also a silver style that appears to be unpolished chrome plated. These are made in Japan and have more than a passing resemblance to Topcon silver livery lenses. They seem to come in the same FL and apertures. The 200mm 3.5, 100mm 2.8 and 35mm 2.8 are availabe on ebay currently. Anybody familiar with the source of these lenses? Cosina seems a possible manufacturer. Are they any good?

SUN surely made some of them. Some are quite good, like true Sonnar variant 3.5/135.

It might be Topcor? The color of the body, does look same, I've checked be4 and never found a right answer,I'd like to see samples anyway.
