    Overview

    The Soligor 100mm f/3.5 MC Macro, also known as the Cosina 100mm F3.5 Macro, is an affordable vintage lens praised for its value as a 'poor man's macro'. It offers a 1:2 macro ratio, not true 1:1, but is sharp and versatile for portraits and close-ups. Build is mostly plastic with a metal mount, and autofocus is slow and noisy. It suits budget-conscious photographers seeking a manual-focus-like experience with autofocus capability, especially those starting out or wanting a cheap long prime.
