Hi

I have a m42 Soligor 135mm lens that looks old and different?! It's quite small and have a 4 digit serial. Do anyone know something about this lens? Surprised

Tamron, mid 1960s. Luis Alegria may be able to narrow it down for you.

Early 60's I'd say. That thing isn't a T-mount, its a pre-T mount, the mount is interchangable but its a 37mm thread.

I don't know anything about it, but it is a sweet looking lens! Samples please when you can/if you can Very Happy

Thx for a lot of good comments!! Very Happy

So the "T" is for Tamron. My lens comes with a normal m42 thread. Do you think this lens may have been modified to m42?

I'll get some samples from it with my PEN Wink

Looks to me like the M42 mount is screwed on, and once unscrewed will probably reveal a 37mm interchangable thread Wink

Yeah you may be right, but it's very nicely done fasten with 3 screws around Wink

It looks good on the Olympus... Very Happy Is it a heavy or light lens?


Reply

I would say it's medium to light for this size Wink

Samples wide open Very Happy
