That problem sounds very familiar to me! 
I've given up on on trying to fix every lens I can; some cheap & abundantly available ones will be for parts even if they could be fixed with some effort...

It was German but in the end they just were a company that ordered camera's from Cosina with their name on it. Or maybe some one bought their name.

Bell and Howell Lumina 80-250mm f4.5. in Nikon "F" mount.
I'll get photo's up later on tonight.
What's interesting about it is that it came out roughly the same time as the B&H FD-35, which was made by Canon.
Not sure who made this lens...
More later.

Hello all! Hope everyone is having a good week.
Took a gamble on a few low-information (but low-cost) eBay listings last week and have been very pleased with the condition once they arrived.
A Vivitar 100mm 2.8 in F-mount
and, a
Converto Tamron 135mm 2.8 with original matched converter lens, Exacta mount ring and brown leather case. (I wish it had the original M42 ring as that would be far more convenient for adapting, but oh well).
Both have crystal clear optics and honestly appear almost new. The preset 12-blade aperture on the Tamron is a lovely thing indeed!

Canon FD lenses are quite beautifully made.
The Canon FDn 4/200 is quite exceptional but is a different design to this one.
I am interested to see how this one performs. Evidently there were two variations - one with SSC coatings - 1973 onwards - and an earlier one without SSC - 1971-73

Yes ... but often at least slightly fogged (this one as well). And then there's the issue with the bearings in many FD/nFD lenses (usually in zooms and IF / floating element lenses, but also in "high quality" primes without IF / floating elements, e. g. the FD 2.8/300mm Fluorite).

Yes, optically an excellent design, mechanically less so - the said bearings are gone in most samples you'll find on the market ...

Me too! - I have been fiddling around with my first (non-SSC) FD 4/200mm when I got it some years ago, but didn't really use it since it was fogged. The "new" sample i got today is SSC coated and very slightly fogged as well - which will be visible in backlight, but probably not in "ordinary" landscapes. I'll take my "new" SSC sample with me tomorrow, shooting a bit before cleaning it later in the day.

Here is the lens mentioned earlier today.
Please excuse the hurried phone pictures.
A twin-ring constant aperture zoom
The orange, red, and white markings are kind of nice.
It cost me all of $20.00 Canadian.
A bit dusty on the inside with 3 fairly large particles, and a bit of "haze".
I don't see any fungus spots.
Mount is a pre-a/i nikon f. This is the first 3rd party pre-a/i lens that has given me trouble.
It went on the D-810 with little trouble, but getting it dis-mounted was another story.
I had to pull the battery out of the camera in order for the lens to release.
I won't be putting it back on anytime soon- it will still make a good toy for my older film cameras.
I took a couple of hurried quick frames while it was monunted, and have yet to examine them.
Not expecting much, based on what I saw through the viewfinder.

.. design is similar to a spiratone portragon - two elements, each fixed at either end of the barrel, but the elements are larger and so far i find the results a bit more pleasing
the eyepiece adapter is of course almost useless with the dream soft lens, but coupled with the OM 50mm/f3.5 macro i had sitting on the desk already, it's pretty good for watching birds at the feeder in my yard
