Can you help identify these lenses? - Soligor

oxhoward · 10-22-2010, 10:33 AM

Recently won these lenses in an auction bundle, originally told they were Pentax lenses. These are nothing like any Pentax I' ve ever seen.

Three Soligor lenses, 28mm, 135mm, 250mm. Clean glass. The back of ea ch lens comes off, presumably to change type of camera mount. Just wondering what mou nt this is, and any chance of getting it to fit a Pentax K mount....

See pictures.

Hello,

This was an idea that some manufacturers tried to introduce back in the late 60's early 70's. Something like the current 4/3rd's mount. Basically you buy one lens and can then use it on a variety of bodies. In High School my first 28mm was a Vivitar TX mount lens that took lens to body adapters similar to your lens and Tamron's Adaptal lens. We are about to close and my contacts in the Used Dept have left. I will ask them next week for any additional info about these lens and what adapter may be available for you to use.

Hello,

Ok, your lens also used the TX or T4 mount which are long out of production. I checked our Used Inventory and we do not have any available. I would hunt around eBay.

Here is some background info.
