The 50mm 2.8 appears identical to the Durst Neonon 50mm 2.8, which was purportedly made by Pentax. Thanks

I did not even know of that lens. It obviously is from a period when Agfa no longer made made a classic enlarger. It does not look like a printer lens either. Nor like one of their repro cameras.
I guess it is just a case of branding.
