Manufacturer description #1

Ideal for fast action sports shots or in-close wildlife photos, the 75-250mm f4.5 is both effective and versatile. Along with "one-touch" operation, a wide range of focal lengths and a fantastic macro ratio (1:1.8), this is a superior piece of photographic equipment.

Manufacturer description #2

"Wide or long, Soligor keeps you covered. Wherever you go."

As a magazine photographer, George Obremski's assignments take him all over the world. He knows what it takes to make location shooting a success: versatile lenses.

"Given a choice of carrying more film or more lenses, opt for the film. You can never have too much. And you'll always be covered, no matter what shot presents itself, when you carry Soligor's two new extended range Zoom+Macro lenses."

"As for the Soligor 75-250mm "One Touch" Zoom+Macro, here is the lens that gives you great range - everything from short portrait through to long telephoto - without great length or weight. It's the smallest "One Touch" with this range and versatility on the market. And "One Touch" means you'll focus and zoom as fast as you can shoot. Its macro capability is effective throughout the zoom range, with an incredible maximum ratio of 1:1.8."

"With more different zoom lenses than anyone else in the world, Soligor really keeps you covered. And covers you with quality."

Notes

• Independent-brand lenses were made for 35mm film SLR cameras by companies that competed with the camera manufacturers. Some came from factories that made lenses under their own brand names (Angenieux, Kiron, Sigma, Tamron, Tokina). Many others were national and international marketing organizations (Kalimar, Panagor, Rokunar, Soligor, Starblitz) that bought lenses from anonymous manufacturers. One firm — Vivitar — actually designed its own lenses and accessories, which were then subcontracted to manufacturing firms. Still others were private labels, sold only by specific photo specialty shops (Cambron, Quantaray, Spiratone).
