[Leica] IMG: Old Lens Revisited

[Jim Nichols]

Thanks, Philippe.  Those items were things that Donna prized.  I think 
her mother made the doilie, and the bell probably came from her 
grandmother, along with some matching pieces.

It was a Soligar 35mm f/2 (C/D) lens made by Tokina for Soligar, and the C/D indicates it was "Computer Designed".  Needing a 35 to fill in the gaps of my Spotmatic M42 lenses, I bought it.  In researching it this morning, I found that it does not have the Red "P", designating a Professional Model, so it is from standard production, which started in 1975.  The thing that got my attention was that it focuses right on the mark at Infinity, and focuses continuously down to about 8 inches.
