Soligor's vintage telephoto for C/Y mount — a basic 80-200mm from the film era.

The Soligor 80-200mm f/4.5 is a vintage telephoto zoom for Contax/Yashica mount from Soligor — a third-party lens brand that sold affordable optics during the film era. The 80-200mm range covers standard telephoto. The f/4.5 aperture is modest. A budget alternative to Zeiss C/Y telephoto lenses.

Optical performance is basic. Soligor lenses were budget alternatives. Sharpness is acceptable when stopped down. The f/4.5 is slow. Adequate for casual daylight telephoto. The Zeiss C/Y telephoto alternatives are dramatically better. Build quality is basic metal and plastic.

Contax/Yashica mount, manual focus. Weight and filter thread vary. Build quality is basic. The C/Y mount adapts to mirrorless. Better C/Y telephoto options exist from Zeiss. Not a lens to seek out.

Very cheap. Not recommended. Better C/Y telephoto options from Zeiss at moderate prices. Only of interest bundled free with a Contax camera. No collector or practical value.
