Here is a shot with one of my Soligor 35mm f2.8 T4 mount lens. Taken at f8/125 400iso. I purchace it off feabay for $4.95 including shipping with T4 M42 adapter. I bought a second one for $6.99 shipped and it not only came with the adapter, but had a real Pentax K-mount adapter screwed on it. Wow that was a good deal. The both do ok on my K100D super.

Steve,
My Soligors are all manual diaphram. I haven't found a K-mount T4 adapter yet. Like you I like the manual diaphram with AV mode. Control over depth of field is very nice. Of course a newer auto focus lens is much for fast action.

Steve,
The build quality of my Soligor lenses is very good and equal to Pentax M42 in this respect. The IQ varies according to who made the lens for Soligor and the original cost. My 70-220mm f3.5 C/D zoom is a good performer, although heavy at 3lbs. It does have a tripod mount and is all internal for focusing and zooming. I have a couple 35mm f2.8, T4 lenses that are decent, but they aren't the cheapest Soligors either. It is easy to trash a lens, but you should try one first.
