Hey guys! I know there's always someone willing to help - would you care to guess which lens this could be? Two things I think I know - it's m42 and it's 200 mm.

That crackle finish plastic looks very Tamron-esque (http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://www.tamron.co.jp/data/old-lens/ct200.htm). Maximum Aperture?

Nope. This is freshly identified as part of SUN made series: http://forum.mflenses.com/need-help-identifying-lens-dimension-135mm-f3-5-t53724,start,30.html

I think.

što ne pitaš prodavača da ti pročita što piše oko prednjeg stakla?

(for english speaking crowd:" why don't you ask the seller to tell you what is written around the front glass")

(Jesam, kaže da je prepisao sve što piše na njemu, a to ne uključuje ime objektiva )

I did, he says he wrote everything down and that does not include the name of the lens.

Thanks.

Usually seller that is playing stupid is hiding something.

Usually if a seller tells me that, I then tell him exactly where to look on the lens for the details I want.If the seller still can't tell you, I would walk away from the sale.

I only do this if I really am interested in the lens... Very Happy and I make the extra effort to find out what the lens is.

This is not an E-bay seller. He lives in my city. But I'd like to know what lens is it before wasting my and his precious time on meeting. Very Happy I'd never buy it online like this.

It can have one of dozens names - Chinon, Prinzflex, Sunagor etc. It is not so important. This is well know lens and it is quite good. What is more important is its condition and you are going to discover it when you will meet the seller.

Often seen in UK as Chinon.

It is important Smile! And if there is someone who is expert on Sun / Tomioka / Chinon then that would be you Dimitry.
From photos i assumed it's Auto Revuenon from this topic (and also many others) and thus possibly Sun produced:
http://forum.mflenses.com/viewtopic.php?t=18544


Here found as Auto Chinon: http://www.njuskalo.hr/objektivi/objektiv-auto-chinon-200mm-f3.5-m42-oglas-1354411

Discussion also here: http://forum.mflenses.com/m42-chinon-200mm-f3-5-t27269,start,15.html

I really wonder your opinion?

No, no, no. I am not an expert. Just was curious enough about that 100mm Soligor I have and was lucky to get those 135mm Soligors. Also without that big Soligor thread I wouldn't be able to make any conclusion.

Anyway I think it's Sun.

It doesn't matter on which lenses you've made your degree Smile. Indeed, that Soligor thread really is inspiring.
Here is a SUN silver line (it's interesting some lenses have arrow and others dot aperture pointer):

The 200mm on the right is exactly the same as my Prinzflex, and the same as Beroflex and Aragon. I have a couple of Sun Soligors, I'll have to see if there's any resemblance ?

Yes it's interesting they used different marks on the lenses even from the same series. Short focal length lenses almost always have that tiny rhombus you can find on your 28mm Soligor lenses. Other focal length lenses have different marks like arrow, dots and may be others as well.

And they also used zillions grip styles.

Do you have 200mm Soligor with s/n starting with 2 or 7? Anyway it would be interesting to hear your conclusion from the comparison.

My Soligor is a chrome ear model with serial number 1678241 which seems to be regarded as Tokina. It's nothing like this silver Prinzflex at all. I wondered about small details such as engraving style being the same, but it's totally different physically. I have no idea about the optics.

i've contacted the seller. he doesn't have a digital camera, so he made those photos with a webcam. anyway it's a auto revuenon 1:3,5 f=200 mm 62 fi No. 749414
