I've had a couple of those, probably both Kino / Kiron - 970**** + 969**** serial numbers. The best information says the first number is the manufacturer - 9 being Kino.

The jury is still out on 8****** serial numbers. The best list of numbers is in the Soligor 28mm thread, and I don't think the 8's are designated yet. But, that 400 you've shown looks identical to the two I've had - I still have one - which I believe to be Kino / Kiron.

I agree with the similarity. Suggests at least some 8xxx = kino.

SOLIGOR 3.5/135 It's not big but i think it's worth mentioning....

I think we can see it on the scanned catalog on page eight of this thread.
It's the one with the 46mm filter threads...

Hi!

Yesterday I bought a Soligor C/D 135mm 2.8 Lens in (hopefully) mint condition. I'm about to use it on Samsung NX. One hardly finds anything about that lens here or elsewhere. It's all about the bigger sister with f2.0, almost nothing about the C/D 2.8. Does someone know a litte bit about it? Age? Manufacturer? Blades? Quality? Thanks a lot!

Can you show a photo? Version F2.5 is made by the SUN: http://allphotolenses.com/lenses/item/c_856.html

It seems yours has serial nr. starting with 2 and as such also made by the SUN. It should be decent lens as most 135mm are.
Sandor has few on display:

Nice. It is Tokina RMC variant.

There is some chance Yashica ML (C) - compact 2.8/135mm is also the same lens:

#1: An early, typical, fixed mount Tokina-Soligor.

#2: Probably a T mount with a metal cap on the mount.

I think this came from Makina. The chain I worked for back in the mid - late 70s house labeled this series of lenses, the 200/3.3 being a unique specification.

That's the very common Tokina lens I think, T-mount, usually labelled 4/100 rather than 4/105, there is a 2.8/100 version too. I had it as a Palinar, it's also seen as a Hanimex and several pother brads but Palinar seems most common in the UK. It's quite sharp but muted colours and contrast, produced okay results after a bit of PP. If this particular one is M39, then they just changed the barrel length as it looks very similar to the common T-mount version.

For the 100/4 -

These may not have made it to the US very often.
I found mine in UK ebay years ago, "Palinar" brand. I have seen them also as Hanimex.
UK may be a good place to look.


Yes, seems common here, there is a Palinar (which I am currently the high bidder on) and a Hanimex listed atm, there might be others that I haven't spotted as well.
