On a miserable day with continuous rain, I sought some project to fill my time.
I recalled a lens purchased in a Fort Worth consignment store in the late
1980s. I was shooting a Pentax Spotmatic at the time, and the lens caught my
eye. It is a Soligor 35mm f/2.0 M42 mount with CD markings to indicate it was
computer designed.
While not as sharp as my favorite Leica Elmarit 28mm, it is MUCH easier to
focus, and focuses down to 12 inches. Here are a couple of rainy day snaps.

A rainy day shot across the street; yes, my yard needs a lot of work:
