    Overview

    The Soligor S/M 28-70 mm f/3.9-4.8 Zoom+Macro MC is praised for high contrast, sharpness, and color rendition, with good shadow and light detail retention. It compares well to fixed wide-angle lenses but shows appreciable vignetting at 28mm and wide apertures in unfavorable light. Distortion is well controlled. Build is heavy, possibly by Sun or Hoya. It suits users seeking a compact, sharp zoom with macro capability, though vignetting may be a concern.
