Hey guys. I apologize if this is an excessively noobish post but I've just bought this fella and I have no idea which mount adapter should I get.
My research was unsuccessful and I'm still waiting for it to be delivered. I would be glad if I can get an adapter before it gets here.

Maybe someone with some more experience can tell which mount it has, it would be really helpful!
Here are some pictures:

It wasn't easy to find a side-view of such 88 serial lens:
It goes under the same line as 2.8/20mm that is a bit hyped here: http://www.pentaxforums.com/userreviews/soligor-20mm-f-2-8-c-d-wide-auto.html
This 88 zoom: http://forum.mflenses.com/soligor-c-d-mc-3-5-4-5-35-200mm-macro-t54943.html
is speculated to be Kobori. I don't think above lenses are Kobori made. See Koboron here (notice very different rear): http://www.limundo.com/kupovina/Tehnika/Kamere-i-fotoaparati/Delovi-i-oprema/KOBORON-28mm-2-8-PENTAX-K-bajonet-MADE-IN-JAPAN/19659389
Frankly your 88 Soligor 2.8/28mm looks darn similar to RMC Tokina. SUN also had similar lens design. _________________ ---------------------------------

Here is another Soligor that needs classifying.
According to the list as arrived at thus far there is no Soligor lens with serial number commencing with K.
This one starts with KA
Ere 'tis:
And what about this little number.
Serial starts with H6 so ....... Komine??????
Look how far back the rear element retracts during focusing - some mirror issues waiting to happen methinks.

I suspect these others may be Kawakami/Kawanon, though related to Kyoei because I further suspect Kyoei somehow turned into Kawakami, based on similarity of some lenses. _________________ I like Pentax DSLR's, Exaktas, M42 bodies of all kinds, strange and cheap Japanese lenses, and am dabbling in medium format/Speed Graphic work. |

Serials starting with H could be from different makers. Many of these lenses are made by Tokina.

It's T-mount so you need to add a width of T-mount adapter.

My 28/2.8, Nikon non-Ai mount, seems to be this one: SOLIGOR WIDE-AUTO 1:2.8 f=28mm 58Ø NO.171nnnnn-175nnnn, Tokina Fixed 0.3m 58mm, which appears to be the same that Phenix jc has. Mine also has the singularity described by Scheimpflug below:
Scheimpflug wrote: |
* On my #6 (171x), 0.3m is the closest marked focus distance, but the focus ring actually turns past it. Infinity is a definite stop (and aligned), but 0.3m is not. |
A couple images:
This one shows the misalignment that Scheimpflug noted
Detail of the shape of the iris:
Since the lens is non-Ai, I can't mount it on my Nikon D700 so it's useless to me. If someone is interested in buying it for a few bucks, let me know. Of note: there's some fogging on one of the elements close to the rear element. |

Another version of the CD/wide auto 28mm 2.8 with 55mm filter ring, SN 2805111.
This has a Konica AR mount.
Compared to the image on the first page of this thread, the focusing ring has identical markings and knurled ring appears to be same size, design, and texture.
The markings on the aperture ring are different. It has 28mm at the front instead of at the end. At the end is EE in green. EE was used in early renditions of Konica AR lenses (early 70s or thereabouts?) but fairly quickly shifted to AE. The part with the markings is recessed and smooth all the way around.
Here are some images of the lens:

Hi Everyone!
I'm glad to have found this thread while searching google for info on this lens I picked up the other day.
I'm completely unfamiliar with the lens mount, and I couldn't find any info on one exactly like it anywhere in the 15 pages (although, one of you had a picture that looked like mine!)
Soligor 28mm Auto-Wide, 58mm filter, 173xxxxx serial no.,
Any thoughts on the mount type?
All help is much appreciated!
Thanks!
-Daniel
P.S. - Sorry for the quick iphone photos of the lens.

Hi Daniel, welcome to the forum.
You can't post photos or links in your first post, an anti-spam measure. You'll be ok from now on.
Your lens, although branded Soligor, was manufactured by Tokina as denoted by the serial number starting with 17. On a cropped sensor camera it shouldn't be a bad performer stopped down a few stops. The mount is Canon FD. _________________ "I've got a Nikon camera, I like to take a photograph" - Paul Simon |

I though to myself "that's exactly the same as mine" - then I looked at it. The numbers has the H prefix, and it's not that far apart either; about 8,000. But there are a lot of differences.
The front name ring, all different. Smallest aperture f16 on my lens, f22 on the ebay listed one, and they go in opposite directions. Also the stop down ring is different. The focus distance scale is tapered on my lens, and parrallel on the ebay lens. The focus mark is different, and the engravings are different colours. The focus ring is shorter on mine, as is the plain bit between the aperture ring and the front edge of the lens.
Which proves very little I know, other than sorting out who made what for Soligor a nightmare. Small differences could easily be an evolutionary thing in the manufacturing, but why would they change something like the rotation of the aperture ring?

Hi DigiChrome!
Thanks for the response, and sorry for my late reply.
That makes sense about the photos.
I was afraid the mount might be an FD! I've got a Canon 6D and was intending to adapt it for use with EOS mount,
but it looks like there are some problems with flange distance and infinity focus between FD and EOS.
Oh well, I only paid $15. Maybe someone on craigslist will be willing to pay that!
Thanks again!
