I think it's a Fed; it has three symbols on the front of the lens. The first looks like a square with a line through it from top to bottom, almost like a null set or empty set symbol (F?). The second looks like a backwards capital E or a squared off 3, (E?). The last one looks like a, well, a D, (D?). F E D. It's a SM collapsible 50mm 3.5 to 16 chrome lens, Elmarish. Very small, much smaller and lighter than the Summitar I got to replace it. Mechanically, 9. Feels very smooth, holds focus, (has infinity lock BTW)no discernable oil. Cosmetic condition, 8. Optics, 9. Glass looks good and clear, though a bit dusty. I got some B&W back and was pleasantly suprised. Took some shots of a spider spinning a web that was almost directly into the sun, they came out great; focused, contrasty, clear and flare free. No caps. How about $75.00 shipped anywhere CONUS?
