Suntar 37-105mm/3.5

Hey folks,

quick question. I happened to get my hands on a mint conditioned Suntar 37-105/3.5 lens. Anyone happen to know if it's worth any?

Cheers
Chris

This lens isn't even/yet in our lens database- do you have a pic?

It looks the same as the Soligor 37-105/3.5. It's probably the same lens with a different name on it.

No idea, anyone?

I still have this one laying around. No idea what to do/think about it.

I have the 135mm f/2.8 No. 18068 with filter size 58mm. $12.00
The focusing range is smaller than that of the Asahi Super-Takumar 135mm f/3.5
The suntar is a shorter and beefier lens w/ built in hood (I like the built in hood). But the super takumar is sharper.
I like my Suntar as a travel lens.
