Welcome fermy!
Thanks for the monkey wrench  We know about "*Six digit lens date code unknown." Thanks for another example!
Please do upload the photos, with minimum focus distance shown if possible. |
Thanks for the welcome, visualopsins. So is the classification valid only for 7 digit serials?
Finally got the time to photograph my Soligor. Btw, everything is shot with Vivitar/Kiron 100mm f2.8 macro - it's brutal. Never saw so much dust on this lens.

Reading through this thread made me dig out my Soligor 28 and I found it to be this type, s. no.9740922
It is an M42 preset, 6 blade iris, min marked focus 0.3m, f2.8 to f16, 52mm filter thread.
The lettering style in "Soligor" is the same as this photo and seems to be different to all the other types.
In use, I find it to be sharp but prone to flare if the sun is anywhere other than behind 90 degrees to the lens. |

Code 6 is also Tefnon/Kobori
Edit: this is 9 digits s/n so it probably cannot be taken into account.

I've just seen on ebay a 35mm f3.5 Soligor M42 ( not T2 ) With the Soligor logo in script and a serial number 'M4107'
The M is still a mystery, I have one - a chrome eared 135mm f2.8 - which bears no resemblance in style to the ebay 35mm ( I think it's a Tokina with serial no M1639** )
I have also just bought a Soligor 35mm 2.8 with a serial no. 211010 ( Sun ) which looks identical to the ebay one with the 'M' serial number.
'M' for Mystery ?

Doing first post here so I don't run into the "no pictures" thing when I want to upload pics of my "gateway" lens... a 28mm 2.8 T4 I got on Craigslist. $10 got me a bag with a miranda camera and what I thought were 2 T4 lenses, but the 135 wasn't...
Current kit is a 5D (orig) with the usual 50mm 1.8 (Metal mount, originally bought for my EOS 620) and the plastic 80-200 4.5-5.6.
Hope to pick up more m42 or other oddball mf lenses...

I've just seen on ebay a 35mm f3.5 Soligor M42 ( not T2 ) With the Soligor logo in script and a serial number 'M4107'
The M is still a mystery, I have one - a chrome eared 135mm f2.8 - which bears no resemblance in style to the ebay 35mm ( I think it's a Tokina with serial no M1639** )
I have also just bought a Soligor 35mm 2.8 with a serial no. 211010 ( Sun ) which looks identical to the ebay one with the 'M' serial number.
'M' for Mystery ? |
Smartphone snapshot of aforementioned 28 2.8 T4:
Awaiting m42-eos adapter to arrive in the mail so I can use it on my 5D.
Also while lurking on eBay I spotted a listing that includes a Taika-Doryt 135mm preset with M#### serial:
Click here to see on Ebay
I noticed that same type lens with similar M#### serial is discussed here:
http://forum.mflenses.com/taika-doryt-135-3-5-m42-mount-t52819.html
Is it possible that the M#### serials are Taika/Taisei/Tamron? Any possible confirmation on this? |

I think there is no "unified theory" for Soligors of all ages. Older Soligors coding is different then late. Maybe it would be good to define the break.

Hey guys. I apologize if this is an excessively noobish post but I've just bought this fella and I have no idea which mount adapter should I get.

Maybe someone with some more experience can tell which mount it has, it would be really helpful!
Here are some pictures:

It wasn't easy to find a side-view of such 88 serial lens:
It goes under the same line as 2.8/20mm that is a bit hyped here: http://www.pentaxforums.com/userreviews/soligor-20mm-f-2-8-c-d-wide-auto.html
This 88 zoom: http://forum.mflenses.com/soligor-c-d-mc-3-5-4-5-35-200mm-macro-t54943.html
is speculated to be Kobori. I don't think above lenses are Kobori made. See Koboron here (notice very different rear): http://www.limundo.com/kupovina/Tehnika/Kamere-i-fotoaparati/Delovi-i-oprema/KOBORON-28mm-2-8-PENTAX-K-bajonet-MADE-IN-JAPAN/19659389
Frankly your 88 Soligor 2.8/28mm looks darn similar to RMC Tokina. SUN also had similar lens design.
