Soligor CD 200mm f/2.8

[Neil Grant]

I remember the CD 135mm f/2 from the early 80's (though I never owned one) - the 200mm f/2.8 is news to me, but looks interesting. Has anyone got experience of it?

I have a 200/2.8 Soligor in Olympus OM mount but have only used it a few times. It will be interesting to see how it compares with my 200mm f/3 Vivitar Series 1 lenses, my Canon New FD 200/2.8 (1st version) and the Canon New FD 200/2.8 (2nd version) which i just got. I think the Vivitar has closer focusing. If I remember correctly, some of the 200/2.8 Soligor lenses are marked C/D and some are not. I have the 35/2 C/D in Minolta MC mount and the 28/2 C/D in Konica and Olympus OM mounts.
