I have managed to hang on to these 3 Soligors. My close favorite Soligor of these three has quickly become the one on the right. The other 2 having f 2.8 as their widest aperture value.
Images with this lens mounted on a Sony Alpha 700-mostly wide open.

The other two are Tamrons apparently, from different eras.

I don't have a clue-maybe Walter has figured it out. He has been diligently researching and deducing these Soligors with the input from members here.

Yes the 2 on the left, according to your deduction you are right. The one on the right I don't recall any "maker id " from you. Am I right?
Heres an image of the front -name ring

I remembered your thread on the center lens. The one on the right I've not seen before.
I doubt it's an Itoh lens, bad guess on my part, because it dosen't have the red diamond.
I like the way the lens renders.A code was identified earlier as Komura built.If it is Komura made it should have the same style appeture blades as the center lens.

My Tamron f4.5 is a really tiny little lens. My copy never fails to give me good photos. |

It has a 15 blade aperture like my other Komuras. But the maker is still a mystery. I have seen this lens in 3 places online in the last 4 yrs. Jims Camera in Seattle still has a copy last time I checked.

You are right the one on the left is the lens Tamron sold as the Converto. It appears they sold the 135 portion of it alone too.
Link /F2.8
Now the lens on the right is a f3.5 and I have not any evidence anywhere that its part os the Tamron Twin Tele which was a f4.5 BTW and which you say you have. Theres one being offered Ebay currently .
The lens on the right has a very crude bakelite like coating everywhere its black.
Link F/4.5
I'd love to see images from your F4.5- can you post some up? There was another member another who had a copy of this lense.

It does in that it always raises the curiosity as to "original manufacturer"

Thanks it is needing a coat of paint inside- but appears to perform well regardless. I have seen some very nice samples of the older Tamron made Soligor 135s- they are no slouches.
