Hi all ,I have not bought many lenses this year so I have been saving my pennies until this little lot came along
Edixa flex camera
P Angenieux 28/3.5
Steinheil Munchen 2.8/50 Cassar S
A humble Soligor 4.5/250 (T mount) Serial starts with a T
And some little bits and pieces.

Sadly the Angenineux has a few little (I hope easy to fix ) issues.The focus appears fine but the Aperture ring at the front of the lens faces the floor when the lens is mounted on the camera.The infinity and rear aperture numbers line up just not the front numbers.I can unscrew it slightly when focusing causing the lens to wobble.

#4 Is this a screw to hold the front in place?

#5 A spelling mistake?

#8 Not a pretty picture..the light was terrible and so was I.

Nice looking subjects. Would like to see some samples from 28/3.5 and 50/2.8. Wondering what is the picture mood they produce.

I hope for better weather tomorrow and will provide some images.

Cool, that's an old Tamron 200/4.5! The lens from Rrance is most interesting though![/code]

So T is for Tamron in the Soligor serial list...thanks.

Is it common for the country's name to be mis-spelt on a lens? I am looking forward to trying it out even with its issues.

Here are a few samples...I am still coming to terms with using this lens on suitable subjects.It really needs a hood so a lot of PP on these.
