It looks like a later model and probably pretty naff?

Looks like a Cosina to me. I'm probably wrong though Laughing

These "normals" I think came with the Vivitar-branded SLR's, which were made by Cosina, so Cosina is a good guess.

I wouldn't be too quick to dismiss it. I have a cheapo Sears 2/50 that was standard on the Ricoh-made PK SLR's, and that is one fine lens.

Probably a Cosina but do not dismiss it till you try it. Some Cosina made ones were very good.
