It's hard to estimate a price for the 100 / 2 lens, there's not not many 100 / 2 lenses made by anyone so that will raise the price. The only one I found was this one for sale on ebay. I think the buy it now price is very high, but maybe it's the price to pay for a fast lens?
Click here to see on Ebay

Soligor 100 / 2 buy it now $265.

Thanks, in fact the dealer is asking for 160€ which is 200$. But I guess I'll skip it anyway.

I looked through the whole thread, but maybe I missed it - has the 2.8/200 been reported on yet? In other searches I have see two different styles; I have this one, but is currently on the slow boat to me.

No, I think you are the first to show this one.
I have the 3.3/200 Soligor and was at one time interested in the 2.8 before I found the 3.3 at a fraction of the then asking prices of 2.8/200 Soligors.
I would be keen to hear of your impressions of this lens.
The 3.3/200 is very good indeed.
OH

I have 200mm f2.8 Soligor in Konica AR mount. Mine looks a bit different and it is labelled C/D. I think those are different versions. I vaguely remember the C/D line being made by Tokina.

Edit: I looked and my Soligor has 77mm filter, so those indeed must be different lenses.

Be interested in how this compares with the Minolta 200/2.8. Looks like a very nice lens, can't wait to see samples.

Interestingly, mine is also made by Sun.
Here y'ar plus a sample

I think a comparison to the Minolta will be a lofty level for the Soligor to achieve. I only bought it because it was cheap, in good condition, and I was curious how close it will come to the Series 1 3/200, which I regard very highly.

Oldhand: Sorry, I had not seen your earlier post when I commented.

fermy: I'm guessing yours has serial number starting with 37. Mine starts with 38. I also suspect the connection to Tokina came from the serial number, which is Vivitar convention, but I wonder if it is true for Soligor.

woodrim,

my serial starts with 17. Btw, I have the same style Soligor C/D 135/f2 and the serial starts with 17 as well. I don't remember, where I've got this Tokina idea, but since it lies somewhere in my memory unattached, it's a pretty good indication that I considered the info reliable.

The best info' on Soligor numbers is in the Soligor 28 thread, and the numbers are different to Vivitars.

Yes.
But made by Sun and maybe similar.
Doesn't matter as I was looking for a 2.8 but could not find one at a respectable price when I was looking.
I settled on the 3.3 and have been very pleased with it.
I know that you will give the 2.8/200 a thorough vetting when it arrives and I am looking forward to your results as always.
Happy snaps
OH

It is a Makinon OH. Soligor CD series codes differs from older Soligors. Also one additional number with CD numbering: Perhaps 3 for SUN, 80 for year of production. Here Makinon labeled 3.3/200mm:

OK, that makes sense.
Thanks for the information.
I am looking forward to the images for the 2.8/200 Soligor, as there is little reported elsewhere.

My newly acquired soligor 400 6.3 is identical as far as I can tell to the 9xxxxx (attributed to kino) one I had previously however as you can see its serial is KA163xxx.



UPDATE Just for interests sake here is a close up of the interesting star shaped aperture formed by the iris. In practical terms doesn't amount to much; this at ~ f16. At f6.3 - f9-10 the iris forms a very round aperture.

I just received a 105 2.8 T2(Canon) mount. This lens is really tiny . I ordered a T2-Nex adapter to mount it on a A7.
First shots tonight with the FD adapter.





The lens (10 euros ! )
