I've 3 Tokina-made Soligor lenses, two of which are in exceptional
condition: 1) 400mm f/6.3, 2) 75-260mm f/4.5, and 3) 135mm f/2.8
My 400 and 75-260 have eluded my attempts to achieve infinity focus,
while the 135 was loaded with fungus, offering me a testbed for
disassembly and cleaning.

I have two very well built preset Soligors:
a f3.5/180mm:
tested it for sharpness against a S-M-C Takumar f4/200 and the Soligor won quite decidedly at open apertures and corners.
It's build and use is very good, though small and light for a 3.5/180.
I'd say it's a 'recommended' but mind that I do not own nor have tested it against other teles.
because I liked this lens I later got a
f2.8/25mm preset:
but after a only very few test shots had discarded it as a weak lens.
for a definite opinion I should give it a more thorough go again

So, what's the best guess as to who made these "M" prefixed Soligors ?

Need a better picture that shows the side view.
By what I can see of the markings it could be a Cosina made lens.
If kuuan can please post a better picture that shows the side better. I think we can identify it.
I'd really like to add this to our Soligor identification list.
