It's a Panagor, which I had thought was another brand applied to the
same items that were branded Vivitar.
------------------------------------------
Panagor was a brand name used by Kino Precision Industries, Inc. along
with their Kiron brand. I believe that the Panagor brand was
principally used in Europe and the Kiron brand in the US. Kino did make
a lot of lenses for Vivitar and you may very well find a Vivitar and
Panagor/Kiron which seem to be the same or very similar lenses. The
Panagor and Kiron macro lenses are highly regarded.
Kino Precision was founded by some ex-Nikon guys who apparently decided
to needle their former employer with the Kiron brand. "Kiron" is an
anagram for "Nikor"
