I thought it could be the Panagor 135mm 'close focus' F2.8

If so this was made by Komine and branded under a few other labels such as Elicar. It is supposed to be a pretty decent older lens.

Then I checked Google:
Sunagor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There does not seem to be any association with Komine or the the other labels and there also seems to be a few reprints of Sunagor manuals on other info on the name in Google.

There are a couple of Sunagor 135s available now on Fleabay with pics, two PK mounts.

Quite a good performer in lens tests on film in the 70's. I seem to remember it focused to 3ft. It achieved this with a double helix screw design, but the threads used to get locked and there were a lot returned as faulty. I suppose any still usable don't have this problem.

No idea how they will perform on digital.
