What is it about anything to be honest
Everything is better than the previous Kalimar. Thank you for the review.
Sears is an American department store. He did not produce his optics, but resold the equipment of Japanese manufacturers under his own brand. This lens could be made by Tokina, Komine, Cosina, etc. It looks like this lens was made by Ricoh (the same one that bought Pentax), it resembles the Rikenon 50mm f2
At the Penta Club they say this:
SEARS is a large supermarket chain in the USA and Canada. At one time, they sold cameras under their own name. Basically - with the K mount. As a result, various Ricoh devices were sold under the SEARS brand, partially equipped with Rikenon lenses (under the SEARS brand) ...
They are echoed by foreign pentaxists:
This was the kit lens that came with my Sears KS-2 film camera, which I first learned photography on. (Incidentally, the KS-2 was made for Sears by Ricoh, so I'm sure this is also a Ricoh-made lens!)

This is a relabeled Mamiya / Sekor 50/2
no, sorry, this bayonet is Rikenon 50/2, there is a threaded one like Sears, that mamiya / Sekor 50/2
Nobody guessed))). Actually, this is Kosina. It’s neither good nor bad. Such to myself - like heliks. You can shoot masterpieces. At 2.8-4.0 it is pleasant and does not cause any questions.
good afternoon tell me if it is suitable for the Canon 200 d
Suitable, but better helios. Or a pentacon 50 / 1.8, if you really want 50 mm. And even better 50 / 1.8 native, canon.
