Is this a Tokina-made lens? Reason I am asking is that the poster will not ship internationally (even to Canada!), and that’s where I am (not Canada).

This is the Sears Macro-Zone lens which is also unintentionally a variable-soft focus lens. Because of the macro setting the front element can be moved into several positions inducing a variable amount of spherical aberation giving the images the soft effect.

I have read that one of the other Sears 135's was probably a Samyang design. So possibly this one also? Who knows. In any case it is a very interesting and unique lens. I like mine. If you get one be careful that it is the PKA auto aperture version like this as other versions are manual aperture.

Be careful about the Ricoh pin if it is not removed :-)
a nice special lens in my collection.

Nice catch Grahame!

I forgot about doing that.

The Ricoh pin can be removed in about 10 minutes if you know what you are doing. Otherwise you might end up with an apparently permanent 135mm fixed lens camera. :-)

This works fine on my K-01. I don't think this pin is one of the legendary get-stuck-on-your-camera kind.
