I don't know who made this lens for Sears but it is a good one.
All images shot wide open.

Can you share pictures of the lens itself?

A lot of Sears lenses were made by Rikenon.

A lot of Sears can be found also as Rickenons. But most if not all of these Rikenons are made by different maker and not by Ricoh.

Thanks Gavin for your kind words.
Here is a picture of the lens - mechanically it is as well engineered as a Takumar - silky smooth.

Nice shots! By your pic, that Sears lens is most definitely a rebadged Ricoh! I have examples of both the Sears and Ricoh versions. EE was the Ricoh designation for their series of lens which were compatible with their TLS system of "trapped needle" shutter priority exposure automation and open aperture metering. Like you,I have found the quality superb!

Many thanks for the kind words and the clarification of the maker.
It really is an excellent performer as well as being as smooth as silk to use.
