Hi Todd,
I see those all the time, didn't know they went that cheap. Got any shots
to share taken with one? >>
Dan, whoever made SEARS lenses did a good job. Cosina made a lot of rebadged
lenses. I have a Cosina made 70-200, "A" F/4 (constant) TOU-FIVE STAR lens I
bought attached to a camera from the proverbial "desperate" guy outside a
camera shop. The story is of no interest but the Cosina made lens is sharp
and crisp with no color abberations: makes you think of PENTAX or TAKAMUR
SMC. Slap it on a PENTAX programmed body and it made a hellaciuos birthday
party, get the candid shot lens!
I *do* know Cosina made a Sears badged twin of my TOU FIVE STAR.
So SEARS/TOU FIVE STAR badges may in fact be COSINA lenses.
