Just bought those 2, like new, Soligor C/D F2 lenses for the friendly sum of € 80,--
Could not find much on the net about them besides a few pics of which some of them looked promising. Could also be because they are not so good.
They feel and look very well made. Especially the 135/2 ( filter 77 mm :shocked is huge even compared to the Canon FD 135/2.
If anybody knows more about these lenses, I will be glad to hear.
Will post some pics later in this thread.

"Did you use a tripod or did you hold the lens to keep the camera in one piece?"
No tripod! Tis a heavy beast, 710 gm + the weight of the adapter, so I carry the lens in my left hand so as not to over-stress the mount. It is Version 2 by Tokina, very nice condition I got on e-bay for 52US$.

I've one too. It is too bulky and heavy which I seldom use.

After having our mailbox smashed up twice this last winter by the snow-plow, I rebuilt the mount to the post. Instead of rigidly fixing the mount to the post I pocketed the post in the mount so if it gets hit it will hopefully swing with the impact & not smash the mount all up as before. After pounding out the sheet metal as best I could to restore the box to shape so the door would open & close again I had to use duct tape to close the tear in the back end. I do not expect that to last though.

Hi Hakkolo,
The first one is a Moorhen, I think.
The second one is " The great tit " according to my dictionary.
You made me write this
