I've never heard of the brand. The fact that I cannot triangulate it in my
mind, along with my inability to find any definitive info about this lens
anywhere on the Web, suggests that it's an "off-brand" created by some
workaday optics company that's been re-branded (or, I guess, "branded" in
this case) as a Sirius. God only knows where it's made or by whom, but
I'll bet it was dirt cheap to buy.
Which is why dirt-cheap optics are almost never a bargain.
My $0.02 worth.
