No lens set is perfect without at least one Soligor.

There's a lot of lenses with this kind of design. IIRC there's even Takumar that looks similar (although probably different design inside).
I actually almost bought Hanimex just like yours the other day- before I managed to think it through the auction was gone. Bought this Soligor instead - no regrets. It is now my favourite lens.

Soligors are like a box of chocolates. If I stumble upon a 105/2.8, I will definitely buy it. The sample images I've seen look very good. However, I took a 25mm f/2.8 out last week. The worst performing lens I've ever had on my camera. Build quality was excellent though.

That should make it for a new thread , as my preset 28mm it does about the same , even though it's like a little tank

My Vivitar 135 f/2.8 appears similar to your Primax, but I don't know the maker.

If you've already searched, alex_d, you may have seen these pages by now. But when they were written a few years ago, the maker of this Vivitar was said to be unknown.

well, had this lens on the camera .. maybe for the very 1sth time,

its on the pair with a really good copy of a jupiter,

very pleasantly surprised.

Then .. i thought: let me check it against a modern Fuji lens ..

and im not disappointed.

Happy days
