Hi all stakeholders!
It seems one of producers of Soligors with six-digit serial number after all is identified by common efforts.
And the answer all this time lay on page 2 of this thread:

Shand, thanks. I will search for more Cimko made Soligors to see the serial number range and if they are coded.
I will also make a note in the serial code chart.
Thanks, Walter.

@marcusBMG -- about as hard as pressing page down a few times. Well you could argue everybody having to do that is not as hard as original re-poster. However, he was quoting a new user post. Photos (and links) do not show on a persons first post; a spam prevention measure... Unless you are saying it is not necessary to re-post the photos? Is necessary only to reply without quoting to get new poster photos to show? I don't think that works, although I have not tried it.

Yes I believe it is only necessary to quote - no need to reshow the pics (right, Attila?). When you hit quote the whole post is copied, with the images typically as [url...tags enclosing [img... tags. So just highlight the tags and hit delete.
Yes page down works but believe me I noticed it more before upgrade to BT infinity (ie download and display speeds).
And in fact the first two pics are simply being repeated from page 2 of this thread, so that's three times.. What's the point?

Re the Miranda lens with the "K" number.
Maybe Kowa?
It seems that Kowa made some of the early Miranda lenses, especially those with "arms"; and this one is one if the earlier types, no arm but with a stopdown button.

I think Kowa, for this one. The coupling arm and A - M switch appear to be of Automex (pre Sensorex) vintage.

Hello!
I was going to buy this lens but I'm wondering when and who made this Soligor 28mm lens, as I never found anything like this lens in this thread. It looks like a Sun-made lens, as it has a 77x serial number and it has a 62mm filter thread, but it has no Wide-Auto lettering on it.

If anyone can help I'd be thankful! Gonna buy it for my a6000 as it is the cheapest 28mm lens here. |

Braz, to ID your U code Soligor Miranda lens I need to know how many aperture blades it has.
That might give the clue to the maker.

It's a preset lens with 12 blades. |

Thanks. I was pretty sure it would have a high blade count.
The one maker I know that used 12 blade apertures is Kawanon.
I need to do more research, but that's my best guess so far.

Hi, first time poster, have been reading this and other threads with some interest, and may have something to add, and, to further muddy the waters, as it were. I recently bid on a Soligor 100-200mm F/5.6, pictured below, Serial # KA-101212 
A further search showed a Kawanon lens, very similar, and even having a similar serial#:
Based on this, KA could also be Kawanon. Interestingly, I thought the lens was so distinctively styled it would not have been made by a different manufacturer, but on another post in'The Big Soligor Thread" this picture showing a '9' serial was posted (sorry, I don't know how to link directly to the post)
