Tele-Soligor 300mm 5.6 info request

[sultanofcognac]

Greetings all,

Does anyone have any information on this lens? I bought one a few years back and use it on both 4x5 and 8x10.

The aperture ring on the Copal 1 spreads from 5.6 to f:63(?) :confused:

I can find no information on this lens other than it is japanese.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Johnny

Soligor put out tons of 35mm stuff but this is the first large format lens I've heard of with their name on it. Do you have a picture of this oddity? :D

I know about Soligor's 35 mm lenses - I had one many eons ago :D

On the other side of the lens is written: 1:5.6 f=300 mm (interesting), and the serial number.

Here are two pics:
