It was the Soligor I was thinking about. When I get time I will publish an image of it, but it's 35mm/3.5 native m42, preset lens. SerialNo H652875.

I think it's really good actually, but the image above had quite shallow DOF.

Thank you !

Andy just sent me a Sears 135 that seems like a close cousin of your 105, so its probably also a Tokina.

Sears is like rebranded to a store right? Might be interesting to know if you see any lenses marked "Expert" they are probably rebranded for swedish electronic stores with that name.

Yes, Sears is a chain of US department stores. They sold all kinds of camera equipment under the "Sears" and "Tower" brands.

I don't think I ever saw an "Expert" brand, but you might find one on the European ebay lists.
