[OM] Re: ebay advise

[Chuck Norcutt]

You're confusing Sigma and Soligor.  Soligor used the "CD" (Computer 
Designed) designation in lenses they produced to compete with the 
Vivitar Series 1 line.  I have one Soligor CD lens, a 35-70/2.5 in OM 
mount which has build quality probably unsurpassed by any other lens I own.

Sigma often gets a bad rap on quality which I think comes mostly from 
some (possibly recent) QC problems but also from producing low end 
lenses to feed the masses.  But they also produce very high end lenses 
with prices to match.  The 300/2.8 would not have been a cheapie.
