It was too late in the day when I left the office for any hope of testing out my new lenses, but I managed to grab some birds on the way home with the $20 swap meet Soligor. It vignettes pretty hard, but I think it's a keeper.

Nice.
Post up some pictures of the lens itself, and you'll learn whether
it's a 'good' copy.
I have one of these lenses myself, and it seems to be of excellent
quality. Tokina-made, mine is of M42 mount, with a serial number
starting with 17. There's another number prefix which identifies
Tokina-made Soligor lenses of this class, though I cannot positively
identify it at this time.
My copy is nearly mint, and I have yet to really get it out with my camera
in real-world situations. I paid US $35 for mine.

Mine's a 42 and starts with 17, too, but this one is worn and looks like it's been banged into things more than a few times. I don't mind.
Here's an iPhone picture b/c I'm too lazy to get out of my computer chair.

I think Tokina made 17 starts the SN.
Vignetting is underrated in my book. I like it to come from the lens rather than PP. Sometimes it really works.
Maybe not here though.
Are these Starlings?

It's definitely big. My opinion on vignette wavers based on the photo. I think I must have left the lens shade out to get this much of it, but I honestly don't remember b/c I grabbed it so fast. I'll make a point of checking it next time to make sure.
These are mostly grackles, but there might be a few starlings in their group. |

Yes, it certainly is. 
It might weigh as much as 3 times more than my Soligor 400mm prime,
and they're both Tokina made lenses.

Thanks for the comments. The fading light really made for a nice flat background. I'll get to see it in 16x20 soon.
I thought of the Hitchcock film, too.
Maybe I will complain about other lenses I *need* on the way to the swap meet. It might work more than once, right? |
