Looks quite like yet another instance of the 135mm sold in just about any mount (whether SLR or RF) in the sixties. I have a Soligor in Exakta mount and a slightly different (but that may be a generation matter) Tanar in Nikon RF mount. Probably Komura OEMed, but I've also read speculations that these (and similar lenses in other focal lengths) may have been JCII sample designs published to the Japanese camera industry and directly implemented by many smaller makers.

Looks like it has a Canon FD T-mount, that would make it look smaller than it probably is.
Closeup pictures may help.

It was a bigger picture but it seems to have shrunk for some reason.
I will get some extra pics soon.
It is an FD mount but the lens is still very small

Its not the Tokina preset, probably not a Sankor, nor the Kino/Kiron 135/3.5 preset.
A mystery.
The grip knurling seems to be a style from the 1970's, made to look like the rubber grips that were becoming popular.

Quite an odd one, it indeed looks younger than the preset type in general. Maybe non-Japanese - wasn't Hanimex selling Hongkong made lenses as part of their bottom line very early on, or am I mixing that up with another distributor?

Well ACTUALLY I like its rendering. I have this very lens (mine is labeled Prinz Galaxy), and I love its vintage style. If you hate yours, I'll gladly take it off your hands for a reasonable price (PM me if interested, I'm serious about that).

If I wanted to offload it you would be the first to know but I get the feeling it might come in useful for portraits thanks to it's soft look!

"Soft Look" in a "CA so huge you reach for your 3D glasses" sort of way.

"Prinz Galaxy" is probably an unusual lens to find in Canada, they were ( as far as I can tell ) the store brand of Dixons back in the 1980's and possibly the 70's.
I've got a 30mm Prinz Galaxy and it's a cheap and nasty thing, really horrible.
But possibly they were buying lenses from anywhere and everywhere and sometimes they dropped lucky?

Thanks, I made it a while back for one of the threads about the Vivitar 70-210 "Q-DOS" lenses... and it has come in handy a few times now.
Dave- I must say, it looks 1000% better in black & white!

I've got mine from an eBay auction originated in the UK. It's global world now; in fact, most of my lenses come from anywhere but Canada. (On a side note, shipping from the UK to Canada is always way cheaper and way faster than from the US, which is geographically closer. Go figure.)
