    If there are no other markings, I believe it is an old Zeiss Brevity, which Zeiss sold to them reluctantly years ago.

    Maybe you do not know that any manufacturer would lick all his fingers over and over again if he could land such a customer.

    Furthermore in this case it does not even have to be an old discontinued lens, but could well be the latest and newest one. Different marking and you are done.

    The Brevity and Experience have the same backslash markings, FWIW. The Optima HyperPro has the forwardslash and an encircled s. Nikon's MOVE digital has two forwardslashes. Walmart currently sells the Zeiss Experience.
