Very unlikely it's a Kino-manufactured lens. I believe they terminated
their relationship well before 1990. Tokina? Komine? Even Samyang/Phoenix
is possible, based on similarities. Haven't been able to find any more
definitive info on the web.

Lex, I bought my Viv 70-210 (OM mount), brand new, in Singapore in
1993...any idea about which company might have actually made it, given
(IMHO) the poor QC?
