    Overview

    The Soligor AF 19-35mm f/3.5-4.5 is a budget wide-angle zoom, also sold under brands like Cosina and Vivitar. It offers decent colors and contrast, especially stopped down, but sharpness is mediocre and build quality is mostly plastic with a metal mount. The front element rotates during focusing, complicating polarizer use. It suits beginners or those needing a cheap full-frame wide zoom for occasional use, ideally bought used under $50.
