IFBAGOR brings up hardly any non-French pointers on Google, and was used at least into the late AF age - it probably was or still is the house brand of some French mail order or store chain.

I don't think either one is Tamron, although the quality of the illustrations isn't too great. The shape seems wrong to me. I'm sure we sold something similar in the UK in the 1970s branded as AICO - importer was Apparatus and Instruments Company. Relatively inexpensive line, cheaper than Tamron/Vivitar, more expensive than Prinz/Hanimex.

Thanks both for your thinkings. 
Their silver painting make me think about a silver Prinzflex 200mm I have.

I had a (black, though) Tamron Adaptall 135/2.8 with a similar aperture display window I haven't encountered anywhere else - but you may be right, if we assume that the index mark and ear are invisible in the images, the adapter socket might be T4 rather than Adaptall.

You are right. Ifba (and its derivatives Ifbagor, Ifbagon, Ifbaflex, etc.) was a distributor brand available in the "Flash" stores, a chain of photo stores (like Revue or Porst in Germany) that was active in France in the 1960s and 1970s. The rebranded gear was usually made by Tamron, Cosina or Chinon. Flash stores were aggressively distributing their catalog in the mailboxes all around the country. This brand brings back lots of memories. I remember as a teenager I was drooling while browsing through the pages packed with dream cameras and lenses -- would you believe, they even had a 400mm lens... Alas, I had no money to buy this kind of equipment, and I was condemned to spend my weekends on my bicycle shooting all around Paris with my modest Voigtländer Vitoret loaded with Ilford HP4...
Here's a link to a page about Flash on a French site: http://www.collection-appareils.fr/flash/html/catalogues.php
Cheers!

Oui. I was born in Paris and lived there for 27 years.

This sentence dating back from the 17th Century was quoted by Henri Cartier-Bresson in the foreword of his famous book "Images à la sauvette." It was such a good match for the subject of the book that "The Decisive Moment" was chosen as the title of the English edition of the book.
Cheers!

Yes, it's a perfect match !
It's beautiful to understand the parallel between this 17th century sentence about life and its wonderful match in the world of photography.
Cheers.
