     My Hoya 35-105/3.5 looks very much like eBay #320752393811, which is a 
Vivitar made by Tokina.  Hoya did make some lenses for Vivitar, but I do not 
know which ones.

     Until now I did not know that there was a Tokina two-touch 35-105mm.  
There's one on eBay with the OM mount, #260841634495.  And yes, all three of 
these lenses look alike and appear to have the same functionality of constant 
aperture and macro engagement.  Knowing that the Vivitar is made by Tokina, I 
wonder if the Hoya is as well.

     I have one of the later ones, as well as the similar 35-135mm RMC.  Both 
are very nice, having a separate close focus adjustment.  The one-touch 
operation of these is better than most I have tried.
