I found this 28mm macro at a local camera shop last year for 20usd. Does anyone know the brand name?

Brand name : CPC (Combined Products Corporation)

That is almost certainly an Elsinor lens, yours is identical to the ones I have that are branded 'Clubman' and 'Tefnon'. I'm sure this CPC lens showed up on the Pentax Forums a while back, and it got favourable comments.
I think it's a first class lens. Cool

Where Tefnon is the manufacturer and Elsinor brand name. Probably.

CPC/Combined Products Corp. is the distributor. Manufacturer could be Cima, Makina, Kobori or Cosina. The only CPC lens I have was made by Cima. Cima used a distinctive pattern of four screws to attach the mounting flange to the body of the lens. A photo of the lens' mounting flange could help with ID.

The Tefnon brand is generally associated with Kobori Optical Co.

It's a Cimko. Also seen as Phase 5, Elsinor, Clubman etc. I've had 4 or 5 copies of it, decent lens.

Here's a shot taken with it. 1:4 doesn't give you a very tight crop with 35mm like it does with APS-C.
