The story behind this one is very odd. Revuenon is Foto-Quelle's house brand for camera gear from the 70's. Don't know who Foto-Quelle is? I don't blame you on that one - they were a camera retailer in Europe that was big at that time. So this is one of their lenses right? Well sort of. See they like Sears never manufactured their own equipment. They instead licensed and rebadged equipment from other manufacturers. In reality this is a lens from Chinon, a Japanese brand that manufactured cameras and lenses up through to the early 2000's. Just to add more confusion to the mix this particular lens was subed out to a Korean manufacturer. I couldn't find details as to who that was but it's most likely Samyang. So that's how you end up with a German house brand version of a Japanese company's lens that was manufactured in Korea. Probably - it's impossible to know for sure as records are scarce and likely hidden away in German/Japanese libraries somewhere that I'm not willing to hunt down.
What matters is that in the end though the resulting lens is a fine one. It's very well built and surprisingly handsome in its industrial design. I'm especially fond of the chrome rings on it.
