It may be a filter. I have a Zenitar fisheye with coloured filters which are to be screwed in the back.
Try to unscrew it.

You can see those filters here :
Click here to see on Ebay

I think it may be a coating more than a filter,I have no tool to try and turn where there are groves.I don't want to scratch the back glass as all the glass is clear on this lens.
I have taken some photos on film and will put them up when developed.
Do you know what the CS stands for?

Yes, it could be. Avoid to scratch the glass if you don't have a tool.

I don't know what the red CS means.
Try to ask to Luisalegria by sending him an MP with the topic link. He is a Soligor's expert. Wink

This is not a filter, but a very good lens coating of the fixed rear element, probably zirconium oxide (ZrO2) that can be applied to the glass surface only at a temperature of over 2700 degrees centigrade. It will minimize internal reflexions and render deeply saturated, cool colors as with Yashica or Contax lenses. I have the 3.5 version of this lens and you can be happy to own it. I will never part with it. It was manufactured either by Tokina or even by Tomioka. "CS" is the abbreviation for "Chinon System" and signifies the PU Pentax universal screw-mount M42. May we ask you for some sample shots at the widest opening of 2.8?
