Who manufactured(-s) Sears and Quantaray lenses?
I remember seeing somewhere that the Quantaray lenses are produced by Sigma.
Is this true for all of them?
BTW, is there any somewhat comprehensive web-site discussing "4th party"
(i.e. non-Sigma/Tamron/Tokina/Vivitar) K-mount lenses?
I remember reading some comparative information on lenses labeled
as Samyang/Phoenix, but haven't seen much of information on anything else.

Sears stuff would be Ricoh for all K mount lenses, although some of the
later Ricoh stuff may have actually been Cosina and some of the early
stuff may have been Pentax, My XR Rikenon 200mm f4 is pretty obviously a
M 200/4 that's been rebadged or possibly a Ricoh made version of the
Pentax design (I suspect the former).
