I got this sample on e-bay, the seller mistook a komura Telemore
II in Konaca 'K' mount for a Pentax K mount and sent me this one in
exchange with a refund of 90% of the money I paid for it. I think
the final cost was a couple of dollars total. Still more than it
is worth. It isn't a total loss I have lots of useless spare parts.

Thanks for your response. That's very good to
know-I'm LOL! Sorry for your experience. Good thing
it (the Soligor) was given to me for free. I think I
will send it straight to the garbage can. I don't
even want to take a chance on it, especially if it
might stick to the body.
