Auto-Promura 20mm f2.8

Never heard of this brand before, and searching doesn't reveal much info on this particular lens. Seems like it might be a re-badged lens from a more 'known' manufacturer ?

Does anybody have this lens and can comment on it's performance? Googling seems to reveal some of the other Auto-Promura lenses are not too bad..

Cheers

If it's cheap, buy it. If you already have it, shoot a roll with it. Sometimes lenses that aren't the "best" work well for a particular style of shooting, and sometimes cheap lenses turn out to be outstanding. I remember hearing about one of their zoom lenses from somewhere, if I recall correctly it was decent, on par for a 70s zoom, not outstanding but not bad.

A discussion on Flickr states that this is a rebadged Soligor lens, and that it has also been rebadged as a Kenlock Mc Tor 20mm f2.8, and as a Spiratone lens.
