Soligor zoom, anyone have this lens?

[Katastrofo]

Won this on ebay and it's the C/D model which I've heard is better than
their run-of-the-mill stuff:

Bit better yes, but not reach good brand quality like Nikkor or Olympus.

[Katastrofo]

Thanks, Attila, since it goes to 55mm focal length, I believe I could use
my PK-13 extension tube with this lens. Will see...

Got this lens today, looks brand new! Here's some quick test pics.

Attila, when I told the first flower it was going to see you, it got really
excited and posed for me. Sure seems to like you, Attila!



and this flower is past its prime, but shot it anyway:



and the flower within a flower:



I'm very happy with this $35 lens.

Once again evidence that Soligor lenses are much better than their reputation!!!

[Attila]

Seems you can make with any lenses beautiful samples, nice ones!
Carsten has 100% right!

[Katastrofo]

Yes, I've had a good week, finding a lens that I bought last year and this
one and having no issues with either, both are performers!

Carsten and Attila, thanks for your comments.

Looks like you found a nice lens at a bargain price again Bill.

Here's a couple more from this lens:

Very nice bokeh and crisp detail, another good Soligor lens.

[Katastrofo]

Thanks, Orio, yes, this is another sleeper lens that goes for cheap on ebay.

Thanks, Andy, yes, the shot was right at dusk, one of my favorite times
for these kind of shots.
