That's very different to mine and I don't think it's a Sankor, I don't see any of the Sankor features. name plate looks like same type, style, construction too.

I have so far sold this lens branded Optomax, Photax/Paragon, Promura and Unitor.'Īddendum is there any more info/insight into who/which sankor see When I was browsing around looking for info before bidding on this lens, I picked up on an old auction by a regular seller, who stated in his description 'The actual Japanese manufacturer is uncertain, but the lens was certainly made by a major sub-contractor to the Japanese camera industry. Posted: Thu 3:07 pm Post subject: Funnily enough - just acquired Peformance is a cut above other third party 35s I've tried a bit soft and glowy wide open but from f4 it's razor sharp, this image was shot at f4: I'll take pics of my lenses and post them, if anyone has pics of other Sankors,please add them. Who knows, some study might not get us anywhere either. There seems to be a link with Sun too as the characteristic font style used by Sankor appears on Sun lenses too, so does that mean they were made by Sankor and sold with Sun branding? Or Sun and Sankyo bought barrel parts from the same supplier? Two of mine are presets with T mounts, the other two have A/M switches. Iangreenhalgh1 wrote: Thanks for the info Luis. I like Pentax DSLR's, Exaktas, M42 bodies of all kinds, strange and cheap Japanese lenses, and am dabbling in medium format/Speed Graphic work. There is a 200/4.5 that's the spitting image of the equivalent Tokina, but isn't. The 135/3.5 I have and usually see is a little brother to the chunky 135/2.8. Old one has a fixed mount, new one is a t mount. The newer one is very compact for a 135/2.8. Both are Zebra style, but the older is more elaborate, larger and chunkier. There are two versions of 135/2.8, older and newer.

A connection between Fujita ( whatever happened to them?) and Sankyo?

I have found on a version of the old Fujita 35/2.5 early retrofocus. I have seen one of the older style 135/2.8 marked simply N.K.K. There is a whole auto line too, some of which can be found in YS mount. Luisalegria wrote: I assume you are speaking only of the presets.

I'm hoping we can make a list of the models known and the brands they appear in, I know these also exist: There appears to be a large number of models and a very large numberof brands they appear under.ģ.5/28 - branded Lumax Gold Star - a tiny lens, excellent performer.Ģ.8/35 MC Auto Sankor - excellent lens, a rival to my beloved Meyer Primagon 4.5/35ģ.5/200 branded Unitor - very sharp even wide open, excellent CA control but my copy has a rear glass that won't clean up fully, a slight fogginess which spoils the contrast.
