Agreed and it is no joke.
Big Dawg is the leader on this forum where the chrome nose Vivitars are concerned, and other stuff, too.
After viewing and admiring Big Dawg's chrome nose collection I tried to find copies of some of those lenses for myself.
Fuggetaboutid
I found one lens, a forlorn 135 which I bought anyway figuring it was a start. Well, it was a start but it was also a finish. I could locate no more chrome nose Vivitars.
Big Dawg's collection is amazing. I do not know how he assembled it. Big Dawg owns the entire Vivitar chrome nose family. I own a Vivitar chrome nose orphan. |

Hurray for orphans! I'm currently taking mine apart to try and fix a stuck broken aperture pin. I just saw a nice "bright band" vivitar 135mm with leather case (the long lost cousin), sold on the bay for 14$. |

Agreed. The "bright band" lenses are also attractive.
Neither series is an especially expensive "large money" acquisition. Money is not the problem. FINDING the darn lenses, of either series, is the problem. Big Dawg was smart. He got in years ahead of the rest of us. Now here I sit with no time machine. What's a lens collector to do? |

A great collection--wonder how many hours of work it took to bring it from the status of wish to the status of reality--Kudos! I do not think the commandment: "Thou shalt not covet" applies to photography forums--the gods understand these things. jt |
