Originally posted by aaronjamesgray I looked in the third party lens section and couldn't find a match for this lens. Has anyone ever heard of it or anything similar?
Focal zoom lens There is something completely wrong in the link you posted. The picture there shows the box of a Focal 70-210mm one-touch zoom, whereas the lens in the foreground clearly is a CPC Phase2 CCT 35-70mm Macro 1:4.Apparently the lens was packed in a box that is not related to the lens at all. While Focal was just a "white-label"-brand by K-Mart, CPC is rumored to have been somewhat related to Pentax. Most of the CPC lenses look very similar to the non-SMC cheapo-lenses that Pentax sold throughout the late eighties an early nineties. However, if I where in your shoes, I'd refrain from picking up this item. E.g. the SMC Pentax FA 28-70 4.0 appears on ebay almost on a daily basis and can frequently be aquired for something like less than 50 US$. As opposed to the CPC lenses, the FA 28-70 does have a solid reputation of being a fair deal.
