Soligor C/D Wide-Auto f/2.8 28mm Lens

Soligor C/D Wide-Auto f/2.8 28mm Lens

Photographed in Lacock Abbey Botanic Garden using a Canon EOS 40D + Soligor C/D Wide-Auto f/2.8 28mm lens.
I don't think Soligor actually made any of the lenses bearing their name. Like Vivitar, and several others, they drew up specifications and contracted optical glass people to produce the lenses with their badge on them. From the serial numbers it is possible to discover the manufacturer: in the case of the one I own (£21 on eBay) it was Sun who made the lens, in 1980 - see eastave5.wordpress.com/2013/10/29/soligor-serial-numbers
It's not a stellar lens but it's well built and fun to use. I like to use vintage kit now and again. I even bought into the Canon EOS digital system for this purpose. Their mid range two-digit models from a few years back are well made and perform decently, and can be bought for quite modest prices.
