Soligor 28/35mm f3.5/3.8

I just picked up a Minolta XD-11 with a strange lens. It's a Soligor Dualfocal 28/35mm f3.5/3.8 lens. Does anyone know about this lens?

I've had both a Soligor Dualfocal 28mm f3.5 + 35mm f3.8 AND its compadre the Soligor Dualfocal 85 f4 + 135mm f4 for several years now. Don't use them much as they feel somehow wrong to me plus they're slower lenses so darker in my viewfinder. Not too bad if you're young but as the old eyeballs age, they're not what they used to be and I need all the light I can get to focus. Mine are in Konica K/AR mount.

Modern Photo tested them both and gave them pretty good marks. Both were sharp.
