This is an attempt to link all the information we've gathered together over the past few years and help others identify the maker of their lenses 
My Grandfather gave me my first two Soligors (Tokina made 135/3.5 and 200/3.5 models) and I've been fascinated ever since!
I've started by snapping all my big guns from the side, with a shot of the focus scale and the iris at f11.

400/6.3 - Serial: 97111315 - Maker: Kino - Year: 1971 - Edit, surprise! It's a Kobori and pretty rubbish! (updated 2025)
Star blades!! Lens has a sliding hood and is a preset.
400/6.3 - Serial: H48064 - Maker: Tokina - Year: 1968? Edit, it's a Kawanon! (updated 2025)
This one is actually a Hanimex, but it seems to follow the same serial convention as Soligor, so I presume it exists as a Soligor too.
Looking at the focus scale, I reckon it could be a Tokina, not sure though. Lens is preset.
350/5.6 - Serial: 9697707 - Maker: Kino - Year: 1969 Edit, It's another Kobori! (updated 2025)
It's those interesting blades again! Lens has a sliding hood and is a preset.
350/5.6 - Serial: H69415 - Maker: Komine - Year: 1969?
This is another preset lens. Very sharp.
300/5.5 - Serial: H71851 - Maker: Tokina - Year: 1971?
Lens is a preset Tokina.
250/4.5 - Serial: 1690311 - Maker: Tokina - Year: 1969
Lens is an automatic T4 interchangable mount model.
250/4.5 - Serial: 9713157 - Maker: Kino - Year: 1971 Edit, it's another Kobori (updated 2025)
This is yet another preset lens!

Thank you !
I have several (250, 350, 450mm) like H69415
So they are Komine. That blows by O<-.->C theory away.
The Hanimex H48064 looks a great deal like a Tokina, and up to now thats what I would have assumed.
This lens, or extremely similar, does exist as a Soligor.
I am happy to see that the "silver ring" series was identified as Kino. I have however had a couple of these that do nothing for Kino's reputation !

I'm not massively impressed by the Kino lenses to be honest. They do a job, but the others (Tokina, Komine) appear to have more resolution.

Kawanon also made a 350mm lens. It looks similar to the Komine version of the Soligor.
I'm pretty sure there is a Soligor version of this lens. I'm posting the Kawanon version for future identification.

I´m not a Soligor expert and I have no one in my collection so far.
But I always like to see pics from (and taken with) old/er lenses and I must say that your samples are in an excellent condition. Great finish at that time.
Thanks for sharing.

The most common Kawanon is the 400/6.3 preset, almost always found under the "Astranar" brand.
These look almost the same as that nice 350, which is quite uncommon btw.
I don't recall seeing one in Soligor brand, but I wouldn't be surprised.

My Soligor 35-70 zoom has SN 5906347 & no indication on the lens that I can see as to where it was made. However, the box it came in says Made in Korea.
I got lost in the links & think I posted this in the wrong one.

Not the greatest offering from this series of Soligor lenses. But I wouldn't call it bad.

The 'M' is a mystery, but the '1' might make it a Tokina made in 1963
One of the first manual focus lenses I used on a Pentax K10, and it still gets used as it's a decent lens that surprises me more than it dissapoints.

This a good lens that has given me some good pictures, not the lightest or easiest lens to use, but the overall quality still makes it worth buying.

The 300 is a better lens than I expected, I've also got a Tair 300 and the Soligor is a bit lighter to carry, although the term "lighter" is relative! 
But I think it's probably as good, although I haven't done a decent shoot out with them yet.
Here's some examples of the Soligor 300, all shot at ISO 200 on a Pentax K10.
None of them have been touched at all, these are straight out of the camera.
The more I use this lens, the better it gets.

It's a Komine made, I've got one recently on another brand, but it's impossible to test it since the weather & the light is dreadful here  . I gave the ebay's link because the pictures of the Soligor box.

Recently I saw the diagram of the T2 soligor lenses and, noted, looking at the T4 schames, that in the 105 and 135 the lenses were changed. From 5 elements to 4 elements. The difference is in the rear group : 2 elements in the T2 and only one in the T4.
More contrast. Paying with less corners correction?

It's turned to winter here fast and have not had a chance to really try it out, but it does seem pretty sharp.
It is one hunk of metal with sweet focus and unusual large easy clicking aperture ring--really nice to to stop on the fly.

Soligor C/D was the attempt from soligor to go high end
The first C/D batch was 28/2 + 35/2 + 135/2 + 200/2.8 + 100mm macro + 80/200 3.5
The second c/d batch included 35/105 3.5 + 100/300 5.0 + 70/220 3.5
It did compete with Vivitar S1 line
Nearly all lenses were Tokina made (including yours)
