For Soligor 28mm, check Soligor 1:2.8 f=28mm -- 21+ Versions (note the link to "Walter's List of Soligor Serial Number Codes") and The big Soligor thread!

Soligor 70-210 serial number 381nnnnn indicates made by Sun in 1981.

I second the opinion on the Vivitar... it's a Kiron (and a very nice lens)

I own a "SEIMAR-Donnex" 1:2.5, f=24 mm, serial number 250036. Perhaps the same lens as your Makinon?. The filter diameter is 62 mm on mine.
