Sakar is a brand name of junk lenses that a store like Cambridge Camera
would stick you with after they promised you on the phone the lens you were
buying was made by Olympus. There are other off brands too, I just can't
remember them. Vivitar, Sigma, Tokina, etc. are not included on that list.

| John,
| excuse me for the question, but what is a Sakar/Zakar number?
| The number the seller gave me looks like numbers from othe manufacturers:
| maybe the 35-70 F3.5-4.8 (produced by Cosina)?
