Background

Soligor, a respected third-party lens maker of the film era, produced versatile zooms that offered quality optics at accessible prices. The 28–105mm range is particularly useful, covering wide-angle to short telephoto, making it a flexible everyday lens for travel, street photography, and portraits.

Compatibility & Format
