I went back and edited my first post because I screwed up inserting the picture and now it has me listed as Walter G. Any way the picture is correct there. I must say that I am sorry to Walter G I am not sure how I posted in your name.
Anyway the lens is a 300/5.5 TELOPTIK CONTINAR. I was just wondering if anyone has ever heard of it. |

I quoted you so the picture would show up. First time poster can't post pictures or links. Your okay now. 
Several members have a version of your lens. Hopefully they will post back soon. I believe it was made by Tokina.

Yes, early Tokina (Tokyo Koki in those days) T-mount lens sold under a hundred brand names.
Some may have the Tokina-flavor interchangable mount, not a T-mount but it looks like one, with a 47mm thread, not 44mm T-thread.
The guys here have found some of these.
Pretty good lens really. You will need an extension ring though, it has a long minimum focus.

Hmmm....it was advertised as an m42 I guess that I had better check the mount very carefully. If i understand correctly the min distance is around 33ft. Thank you for the information. I just hope that it is in as good of condition when it arrives as the pictures make it look. |

I have this lens branded Soligor, that lens of yours is M42, that chrome piece at the back is the M42 mount.
I'm going to do a 3-way shootout with mine, my Tair-3C 4.5/300 and my Konica Hexanon 4.5/300. The Soligor is certainly the lightest and easy to carry around of the three.

Well my lens arrived today. Was pretty happy to see it. It looks as good as it does in the listing pictures. In fact it looks practically new. Problem is that the focus ring is very hard to turn. I guess that I will need to embark on dis-assembling it for lubrication. Does anyone have any literature on how to take these apart? |
