Would you mind posting a pic of the lens sometime when you get a chance? I am now wondering who made that lens. If it's the same as some online pictures that I saw, it's a Cimko. It looks exactly the same as the Cimko 24 2.8 except that it doesn't have the diamond in the red line. As for the 28 - I've seen a report that it's very sharp and contrasty, and another thought it was junk. So there's probably quite a bit of sample variation!
Anyway, if it says Japan it's probably Cimko, but if it says Korea it's Samyang.
