This old lens: Soligor 5 cm f/1.9

Lens: Soligor 5 cm f/1.9





Filter size: 46mm (!)
Close focus distance: 17 inches or 0.45 meters
Aperture range: f/1.9 - f/16
Aperture blades: 5
Depth of field scale for f/4, f/8, and f/16, (there are ticks for the other apertures as well but they are not easy to see), and IR focusing index.

Comments: Has a weird arm that sticks out to "automate" the aperture closing as you release the shutter. Unfortunately my version has an issue and can only be shot wide open. Has a slip-on plastic lens cap.

The photos: Remember these are all wide open at f/1.9.








(Shot with a red filter held over the lens - still over exposed of course at 1/500, f/1.9, and ISO 400)
