The Zeus Alfa levers were virtually identical to Mafacs. Pull the blades, file off the Mafac name, polish and no one will ever know. (they did say Alfa, though) Look at my red Zeus, those are the Alfa levers. The Mafac 1/2 hoods even fit.
Weinmanns are better levers I think (Mafacs too long a reach for me)
Oh, I have a lot of Mafac levers if you need a pair.
