The best info' on Soligor numbers is in the Soligor 28 thread, and the numbers are different to Vivitars.

Yes.
But made by Sun and maybe similar.
Doesn't matter as I was looking for a 2.8 but could not find one at a respectable price when I was looking.
I settled on the 3.3 and have been very pleased with it.
I know that you will give the 2.8/200 a thorough vetting when it arrives and I am looking forward to your results as always.
Happy snaps

It is a Makinon OH. Soligor CD series codes differs from older Soligors. Also one additional number with CD numbering: Perhaps 3 for SUN, 80 for year of production. Here Makinon labeled 3.3/200mm:

OK, that makes sense.
Thanks for the information.
I am looking forward to the images for the 2.8/200 Soligor, as there is little reported elsewhere.

My newly acquired soligor 400 6.3 is identical as far as I can tell to the 9xxxxx (attributed to kino) one I had previously however as you can see its serial is KA163xxx.
UPDATE Just for interests sake here is a close up of the interesting star shaped aperture formed by the iris. In practical terms doesn't amount to much; this at ~ f16. At f6.3 - f9-10 the iris forms a very round aperture.

I just received a 105 2.8 T2(Canon) mount. This lens is really tiny . I ordered a T2-Nex adapter to mount it on a A7.
First shots tonight with the FD adapter.
The lens (10 euros ! )

I looked through the whole thread, but maybe I missed it - has the 2.8/200 been reported on yet? In other searches I have see two different styles; I have this one, but is currently on the slow boat to me.

Has the slow boat arrived yet Micheal?
I am keen to hear of your impressions of this lens.
Cheers

Yes, I was puzzled that a standard lens wearing the Soligor label might appear for .................. Minolta(?)
I wonder who this lens was marketed to as most camera owners already had the standard lens that came with the camera.

There are different options:
The Soligor is a fake f1.8
The Minolta is actually a f1.8
The Minolta is a 1.8 reduced to f2 ( like the 55mm Takumar)  |

1- Look at the ring stop
The max aperture position (the pointer) for soligor lens is at ~f:2 and on the minolta at ~f:2.4
That is certainly the TRUE opening
2- I will think that the soligor is not from minolta but from seagull (china) which made a minolta copy (body and lens)
I think that because front engraving does not seem of very high quality

Watching my lens , I do not see this difference. Perhaps are you right . It must be a good copy ( not only cosmetic ) because the IR focusing mark is at the same place.
PS It seems that Seagull produced some Minolta under licence. The 50mm was a 1.8 . Bravo ! |

Funny what "New Old Stock" items do to me when i see them.... it's hard to resist these brandnew and shiny old things... especially at extremely low prices!
I bought a box full of "left-overs" and this came with it: Soligor S/M 28-70mm (MD) and a Soligor 1.7/50 (PK). Took a few quick shots with that zoom, first impressions look good! I had ever seen a standard 50mm Soligor prime before though.
