    Overview

    The Soligor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 MC is a budget telephoto zoom with mixed optical performance. Sharpness at maximum apertures requires stopping down, and chromatic aberration can be an issue. Build is all-metal with a solid feel, but the dual-aperture ring system is cumbersome. It suits users seeking an affordable vintage lens for manual focus work, though autofocus is fast in good light.
