Sorry for taking so much time into account, but now the deal is closed and I am the new owner of this incredible lens. As promised, here are the pictures as requested. By the way, the lens weighs 4.219g or 9lb 4 3/4oz.(Without the camera mounted onto it!!!)

Wow! Impressive lens mounted!I wonder if this lens was marketed only by Soligor GMB of Germany,rather then it's parent company AIC(Soligor).Why I say this is because I've only seen this lens being sold in Germany.It would be nice to see some pics made by the lens.

Well it might ge a very difficult task in gaining some information about this lens. This is the information that was passed on to me via telephone.
Soligor in Germany have got no records available. Infact the entire Lens-division and the records, have been outsourced/ or sold to a "Service-company" in germany. As soon as I know more, I'll inform you. |

So how do you like it and how does it handle?
...and have you made some test shots at a near(10-15 meters or it's closest shooting distance) and medium(100 meters) and far (six to eight kilometers) target throughout the stops to see how it performs?
I have a near target of a fence milled wood post I use with various lenses and a far target of another milled wood post.I shoot the exact same spot all the time to compare lenses to match the exact same section of grain of the wood in comparison to the resolution of images made by other lenses.I use a shot of about six kilometers across the sound of the same building,if the weather is moderate and clear.
This helps to find the sweet spots on the lenses.Having tested quite a few long lenses that have passed through here.Lenses that are quite sharp at the near target are usually quite sharp at a 100 meters and much further.But there are lenses that aren't as sharp far out as they are near.Then there are other lenses that surprise you and don't do well near,but hold their own on distance shots.

Dang! That lens must have some serious glass inside! The S-M-C 4.5/500 is bigger and only weighs 3.5Kg (7.7lb).

Sorry I didnt have any time for it yet. Currently the weather is very cloudy with a bit of haze in the air. We'll have to wait until spring returns. Thankyou for the advice on how you test your lenses. I'll bear that in mind. The only snapshot I can offer you is the one down below. The circumstances were not ideal. I didnt have the proper adaptor so I combined the T2 for Minolta MD + the Nikon lensadaptor for Min.MD. Secondly the signboard must have been app 150m away and no tripod was used. Not really ideal for evaluation! ISO 800.
By the way....I liked your slideshow  I thought I had too much Photoequipment.

.........I think we share the same BIG secret!!! 
Like all hobbys; at the beginning I had virtually nothing. Fortunately the prices for MF lenses have dropped considerabely! Good for the enthusiast, bad for the seller  |
