A 17XXXXXX serial, so possibly made by Tokina.
Anyhoo, here it is and some images from today.

One more image from yesterday - late afternoon down near the river:


..and a 1:1 crop near the centre.
Lens is softer at the edges

I like my Soligors, and I nearly bought one just like yours yesterday - but the focus ring was jammed solid. I might go back and make a low offer. It looks good in your pictures.

I have three Soligors, two of which were given to me - this is one of those two.
It is a better performer than I was expecting and well worth keeping - and using - of course.
I briefly owned a 105 Soligor, but the focus ring was so stiff (from dried grease, I presume) that it unwound the lens from the camera when I tried to focus. I sent it back.
This one can give sharp resolution right to the edges depending upon the aperture.

Yes, a pretty good lens of its time - @1965-75, yours looks like a fairly late version, I guess 1970's.
Same as the T4 version, but there were various fixed mount ones also.
Better than most of the third party types.
Certainly better than the Tamrons of the era. Those aren't bad, but this is better.

Today is Australia Day - our national day.
It is a day for celebrating our wonderful country and those attributes that all of its peoples (from almost every country on earth) bring to it.
It is a day for community
I thought that I would create a little image that celebrated a small part of the Australian lifestyle.
Soligor 2.8/35 on K-10D
Happy Australia Day to all

Haha - it is now pouring rain here.
A lot of celebrations will be moving indoors I think.
Thanks Mo - enjoy the holiday

Thank you Attila.
Another "Australian" image - a towel hanging on the back verandah and a glimpse of the back yard.
Cheers

Sunny days here,a little cloudy and strangely a very cool start to the day it only got as high as the mid twenties.
