Difficult lens to get use to; Soligor 35-140mm Macro (bought in mint condition $18) with old Soligor Flash.

- Color saturation; low
- Sharpness; sharpest at 140mm (8.3 out of 10)
- Highly prone to flairing

Performs good to great when light is from the rear

Bird; Nuthatch

I had a Soligor 80-200mm and as I was used to my then exclusively Pentax lenses I was quite taken back by the softness and the muted colours, it didn't do it at all for me I'm afraid.
