Soligor C/D 28mm Wide-Auto f/2.8 Lens on a Canon EOS
A Soligor C/D Wide-Auto f/2.8 28mm lens mounted on a Canon EOS digital camera via an inexpensive M42 - EOS adapter.
Soligor lenses were aimed at the economy end of the photography market during the 1970s and 1980s. Like Vivitar, they did not manufacture lenses themselves, but drew up specifications and invited tenders from Japanese optical companies, like Sun, who made this example (there are many other similar Soligor 28mm lenses). It is to the C/D ('computer designed') standard which marks it out as quite a bit better than the company's more ordinary offerings. This example is provided with the M42 thread which was at the time still popular despite being phased out by the prominent camera manufacturers who had used it (mainly Pentax).
Made by Sun in 1980. Bought for £21 in 2015. I probably paid over the odds.
