Hi folks. It's all in the title. I consider buying that one

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/155551715745?hash=item24379ad1a1:g:~7sAAOSwbVZkXmCi

just because I've never seen one like that before. 😄 But there has been a thread for another very similar looking lens and I can't find it. Some speculated it may have been Hoya made.(and Hoya is Tokina, right?)
Any more info / remark regarding that one very welcome. Thanks.

I don't think it's either Hoya or Tokina. Looks more like a Sunagor lens to me.

Yeah, looks very Sun-like. Not sure if that’s a good thing.

I have 2 or 3 Berolina labelled Sun lenses that a remarkably good. Those however are in the matte chrome livery very popular with Topcon designers.

I like the Sun made Soligor 105/2.8 as well, but I’ve had a lot of dogs as well.

Looks like it could be Tokina or Sun, however lettering screams Sun.

Thanks guys. So far no mention of someone having seen that lens before. So, uncommon apparently.
I googled Sun 35/3,5 with no results. Camerapedia doesn't list one either
( https://camerapedia.fandom.com/wiki/Sun)
I'm a bit surprised it takes 55mm filters for such a slow lens. I have some early Tokinas using 46mm.
Let's see if we get more comments.
