Anybody familiar with this one? Weird "Dualfocal" 85 OR 135mm, so not a zoomlens.... it came with a Pentax camera, i haven't used it yet..... i don't see the point, it's just f/4.
Btw: just bought a set, and it contains the early Tokina 5.5/300 branded as Soligor (M42). It will arrive next week, that one i'm looking forward to use, i've seen some nice pics made with it! _________________ My Flickr photostream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/chantalrene/

I'm not sure whether I will receive gold shovel medal for quoting and commenting such old post but as:
1) I've bought my copy based on opinion posted here (Thanks!)
2) I'm just cleaning it
I have to report that it is simplest optical construction possible - achromatic doublet. Plus very modular full metal yet light and simple build. First test shots show that it is very sharp wide open with no CA. I'm very happy with it as I've bought it for 20 eur + 10 eur for t2->m42 adapter. All in all I highly recommend it. |

It came in the bag of a Praktica mat/pancolar that I bought and the manual for that camera is 1967.
It may be that this is somewhere on the forum already but I did a search and nothing came up.
I scanned it at 72dpi but the quality doesn't seem that great. If anybody wants a more detailed scan then let me know.

std's 300/6.9 lens is certainly made by Taisei Kogaku, AKA Tamron, in the very early 1960's
It is well documented in the adaptall-2 site.
I have a few others in this series but the 300/6.9 is still not in my collection. It is apparently quite uncommon. Tamron seems to have had a very cheap line of teles - 200/6.3, 300/6.9 and 400/7.5 and also a 400/8 among their other offerings.
Nordentro's Twin Soligor is also a Tamron, and I think fairly uncommon in Soligor brand though much more easily found in other brands, such as Tamron(this is probably the first lens branded as a Tamron) and Spectra. Versions are seen in Zebra, Alu and all-black finish, and with the focal length given as 135mm or 140mm. Same lens, just differently marked. I have had several of all versions.
The 300/5.5 preset is certainly a Tokyo Koki/Tokina, as it has been seen in both the Minetar and Tele-Tokina markings. Minetar was another Tokyo Koki house brand.
Thank you Braddaman ! That catalog is a real find. _________________ I like Pentax DSLR's, Exaktas, M42 bodies of all kinds, strange and cheap Japanese lenses, and am dabbling in medium format/Speed Graphic work. |

BTW, That catalog shows at least four different manufacturers, and possibly more.
Tokina
Tamron
Kawakami/Kawanon
Sun (chrome ears presets seem to have been ID'ed as Sun)
The 35/3.5 preset seems to be the last version of the well-known model by Kyoei. I have had several versions.
Since several other lenses here are definitively Kawanon, I believe its because the fate of Kyoei was to turn into Kawanon at some point in the 1960's. Some known Kyoei lenses turned up labelled as Kawanon in later years.
The 500/5 is very interesting and rare. I have no idea who made that. _________________ I like Pentax DSLR's, Exaktas, M42 bodies of all kinds, strange and cheap Japanese lenses, and am dabbling in medium format/Speed Graphic work. |

I've just had a look through my box of old brochures (collected from various camera purchases) and have found one for Auto Miranda Lenses from I think 1971.
As the previous Soligor brochure had a Miranda camera and as they are connected (rear says "A division of AiC Photo Inc) do you think this brochure is relevant, rarely seen or useful under this thread?
Here's the inside front page from a six page brochure.

Its most certainly relevant, but you may want to include it on another thread. There certainly are a lot of Miranda collectors here.
The Miranda lenses were interesting in many ways.
Better, I think the admins should include your docs in the stickies.
AIC (Allied Impex Co.) owned and used the Soligor brand, and they also owned the Japanese Miranda company outright.
Some of the Miranda lenses were also seen as Soligor branded lenses. I can see one right there on the back row, the 200/3.5 auto lens made by Tokina that was also sold as a Soligor, with T4 interchangable mount. This photo seems to show a fixed mount version for Miranda.
The rest of this range of Mirandas (at least on the cover photo) was not sold as Soligors that I know of. The maker was apparently Kowa, and they were exclusive to Miranda I think. The mounts for these are those with the external aperture linkage lever used for the Miranda Sensorex and Automex.
The lenses shown (I am guessing) are -
25mm/2.8
28mm/2.8
35mm/2.8
105mm/2.8
135mm/3.5
135mm/2.8
180mm/3.5
I have them all but the most interesting one the 25mm _________________ I like Pentax DSLR's, Exaktas, M42 bodies of all kinds, strange and cheap Japanese lenses, and am dabbling in medium format/Speed Graphic work. |
