Back in the day when Sears was really trying to make money with it'\s
stores, they sold cameras of many formats with their own name on them. One
was a rebadged version of the mamiya's knockoff of the spotmatic. Lenses
were generally thought to be make by the same people that made other private
brand lenses and even perhaps were rebadged Vivitars. The lenses were not in
any way groundbreaking or spectacular, but were certainly competent, as were
the bodies.

Can't find out anything about it. Sears marketed some interesting
lenses, and I'm constantly looking for their model 202 version of the
Samyang 28-200:

I don't particularly care for one-touch lenses or zooms that exceed a
3:1 FL ratio, but this one is much better than what I usually encounter.
Mine is mounted on the E-520.

Looks sort of like an M42 version of my Leica-R 60mm Macro.
