Very nice condition. Minor brassing, came with a M42 lens mount adapter.

This must be cousin to my Soligor 75-260/4.5

Same layout, same focal range, but different cosmetics.
Mine arrived with a dedicated M42 mount:

I have just had a spring clean and apart from shame at the amount of kit I have collected - so many lenses now I have lost count...

I also discovered one of these. It had some strange adapter on it (which I did not realise) and only after seeing your picture did I discover that it came off to reveal the m42 screw mount - major embarrassment on my part.

Please use yours and post some pictures, to encourage me to try mine out!

Doug.

More than kissin' cousins really but other than the type of grips used it is an identical twin. LOL Vivitar and Soligor had them made by Tokina at the same time period and for the life of me I can't see any difference in the photos from either. So pick your poison so-to-speak and choose either one for some nice photos.

Is it my elderly failing eyesight, or are all but the first a bit 'soft'

I apologise if it's me!

Possibly. Not much sunlight except for the Ducks.
