OOPS let me see if I can clear this up. I mis-rememered. It was late it
was dark I did not have lens in front of me. OK I'm old. My 135mm f1.8
is indeed the Spiratone. I thought I had owned the 85mm but it was the 135.
But I was sure when I was hunting up this lens I saw a JC Penny Label.
And I did, it was on a 28-80 3.5 tele . I also found my 90-230 Sears
tele. The JC Penny is a K- mount the other two are the old 42. Using
various adapters I tested these on K-01 and Oly 4/3s.
I also tested some Canon tread mount lenses from a rangefinder camera
with bad results - they only focus close-up nothing beyond a few inches.
Photos when I get time. Sorry about confusion but thanks for forcing me
into the storeroom.

I had a Sigma back in the film days that I bought at the Miami
International Camera
show back in the late 80's new old stock in the box. It was single
coated and was a flare
magnet and was bulky as hell on the front of my spotmatic without any
addtional
grip. Never used it much, sold it off in the late 90's with most of my
other none pentax
lenses.
