Re: bargains and questions
Focal was a re-marketer back then. I remember this brand, as until recently I has a Focal table top tripod. The ballhead finally disintegrated on it. -Lon Kevin Waterson wrote: I just picked up a few lenses from a sale..

It does have a number No.88315315 and also says FOCAL MC AUTO, it is a 52mm thread. Any ideas who the maker of this lense may be? Secondly, Where might I find more info on the Pentax-F 35-70 Lens?

In the US Focal is K-Mart's brandname for photo gear.

Re: bargains and questions
It appears that the brand of your 28mm is Focal. I've seen the name before, and I think it's a store brand, like Quantaray for Ritz Camera Centers. Perhaps it's made by Cosina, or one of the other often-behind-the-scene manufacturers. Pat White
