I came across this Soligor recently and for the asking price of £5 I thought it was worth a punt. All test photos have been converted from raw, no sharpening, cropping or pp applied and converted to jpeg. The camera was a Sony Alpha 6000, ISO100, tripod mounted.
I don't think it performs too badly. From the serial number I don't know who manufactured it, possibly Tokina, Sun?

The lens:-






f3.5


f4


f5.6


f8


f11


f16


f22


Image taken at f8 after my usual pp:-

nice looking lens! i like these old third party 35mm lenses for their swirling and bubbling bokeh wide open (picture 1) and they are all very cheap to buy Smile
SN starting with 3 = Sun (?)

Answer this and you'll also answer who made Weltblick/PORST 1.8/35mm and 1.8/135mm.

As per the Soligor serial number crew, this seems to be a Sun.
Interesting to see an f/3.5 auto version, not common to have an auto 35mm prime in a cheaper, simpler formula (5 element I think). You usually see this in presets.

I just picked this up. What mount is this lens for?

Thanks.

The one pictured is M42 in the original post.
I think though these were made in several mounts, so you will need to check your own lens.

Looks identical actually. Thanks for the quick reply BTW.

Here's some pics

Very heavy yes?

I think I have a super carenar 35/2.8 in that "style" (distinctive font, markings, 3 mm plastic pipe standing over at front end),...

Yes it was not very good either, "cant focus it" :)
