I think that's one of the several variations of the Kiron 100/105/2.8. What are
the first two digits of the serial number?
My Kiron 105/2.8, 1:1 is a very nice lens. Not quite as good at 1:2 and about
the same at 1:1 as the Zuiko 50/3.5. The
newer, AF Tamron 90/2.8, 1:1 whups them both in resolution, distortion, even
illumination, edge sharpness - and at f2.8,
vs. f8 or f11 for the older lenses. The downside is that the Tammy is no better
than the others at f8.
