Hi
I have a m42 Soligor 135mm lens that looks old and different?! It's quite small and have a 4 digit serial. Do anyone know something about this lens?

Tamron, mid 1960s. Luis Alegria may be able to narrow it down for you.

Early 60's I'd say. That thing isn't a T-mount, its a pre-T mount, the mount is interchangable but its a 37mm thread.

Thx for a lot of good comments!!
So the "T" is for Tamron. My lens comes with a normal m42 thread. Do you think this lens may have been modified to m42?
I'll get some samples from it with my PEN

Looks to me like the M42 mount is screwed on, and once unscrewed will probably reveal a 37mm interchangable thread

It looks good on the Olympus... Is it a heavy or light lens?
