That Sear 200mm/3.5 looks almost identical to my Soligor 200mm/3.5, so perhaps there is a fifth version. The knurling is different and the feet meters markings are exchanged.


Many variations among Tokina made lenses. I've recently learned of a T4 variation imported to the US by Lentar called Automount. I have 135 and 200mm versions and adapters for M42 and Nikon F. Watching e-bay auctions has also turned up a 300/5.5 Automount and a 28/2.8 variant branded for Hanimex. That indicates focal lengths of 28, 35, 135, 200 and 300 in two brands for the Automount system.

Three versions of the 200mm f3.5 lens. From left to right; Sears Roebuck fixed mount, first type Soligor T4, second type Soligor T4.



First and second type Soligor. Length reduced. Filter size reduced from 67mm to 62mm. Tripod mount deleted.

Luis. I've been able to find out comparatively little about these lenses. Do you know a date when these first came to market as fixed mount then T4? The whole line is very similar to Mamiya Sekor TL-DTL lenses. Did Tokina contract manufacture to Mamiya? Was Tokina a brand used by Mamiya for their aftermarket lenses?

I have the first lens, Identical except for silver mount ring and distance scale ring branded Tokina. Must be a Tokina then.

Yes indeed, an indisputable Tokina!
The Tokina brand must be the rarest marking among these Tokinas Smile
