It is all coming back...
Seriously I remember reading about Zeiss Jena in several articles
saying, "Move away from the lens. Your wallet is in danger even if it
is cheap." I thought they were supposed to be really terrible quality
which is why W.German Zeiss hated them so. Ruins the family name. I
think it is the West German factory that had the manufacturing
arrangement with Kyocera and there is no question about their high
quality. But, I don't know anything about a specific lens.
