Amongst my father's old camera stuff I have found this Soligor f4 105mm lens.

 

Is it likely to be worth keeping or is it a pup?

Any old lens is worth having a bit of experimental fun with. Soligor never was a first rate lens maker, but the products were decent enough. I guess it is not worth it to sell.

That's the point. You won't get an apple for it. But it can be fun to play with.

Let's not bring Apple into this :D:D

Hey, post some images if you deem them acceptable to show. That name Soligor goes way back in my memory.

My first SLR was a Soligor with P-thread mount. Pretty decent actually as a learning tool and admittedly the (also 2nd hand of course) lenses were not expensive. Stop down light measurement & seeing the DoF while at it was very useful. I was happy enough & then I bought an FM2. That still is quite a camera by any standards, even though it has more mirror slap than a F3. I love the full mechanical workings of the FM2.

 

Anyway back to Leica:D That is a totally different dimension. Anyone that doesn't get it, doesn't get it.

At one point Soligor and and Vivitar shared most of the same lens line. I just remember the same Soligor lens branded as a Vivitar sold for less in the 70's.
