I recalled a lens purchased in a Fort Worth consignment store in the late 1980s. I was shooting a Pentax Spotmatic at the time, and the lens caught my eye. It is a Soligor 35mm f/2.0 M42 mount with CD markings to indicate it was computer designed. While not as sharp as my favorite Leica Elmarit 28mm, it is MUCH easier to focus, and focuses down to 12 inches. Here are a couple of rainy day snaps.
