They might be the same. I used to have the MZT 8-24mm, which is also sold as Seben and Celestron (possibly others) and allegedly a Chinese clone of the Vixen 8-24mm. It wasn't bad, but I prefer my Baader MkIII 8-24mm, especially for solar viewing, due to fewer reflections (better coatings, I expect) and slightly wider FOV.
Come to think of it, didn't I sell my MZT zoom to David (omegacrux)? It was someone in Tassie, anyway.
