Promura 1:2,8/135 mm Tele Macro
Panagor PMC Auto Macro 1:2,8/135 mm
Rokunar V-HQ Macro 1:2,8/135 mm
Toyo 1:2,8/135 mm Macro Telephoto
to be this lens it has to have 62mm filter diameter |
How do you know the Toyo is made by the same company and is it Toyo Optics? any help verifying would be most appreciated. Thanks |
my source is this:
http://olypedia.de/Vivitar_Auto_Telephoto_Close_Focusing_1:2,8/135_mm
as i said to be this lens it has to have 62mm filter diameter, so if the lens you need verification for has that diameter, it most probably is this lens

My Vivitar's serial number's first two digits are 28, which means it was made by Komine. You can see it in the first group of photos in this thread. Komine is not a particularly well known builder, but they have built some excellent optics for Vivitar in the past, for example, the Series 1 28-90mm f/2.8-3.5 varifocal lens.

I have known of this lens for quite a while. I have owned the Vivitar 90/2.8 (sometimes denoted as 2.5) and 55/2.8 of similar mechanical design. I did a write-up of the 90mm here http://makingnottaking.blogspot.com/2009/10/vivitar-90mm-f25-11-macro-lens.html. I found them to be good lenses. Never owned the 135mm though I would expect similar performance.

I agree with calvin83 that I have never seen this same optic rebranded as any other. The 90mm however, I have seen in nearly all the brands mentioned by WolverineX. But that has just been my experience.

like many lenses that we don't have exact information on, existence of these would need to be confirmed by someone who has them,then we could be sure if they are the same lens or different.

Nice shots Michael. To be honest I cannot obtain sharp enough photos hand-holding a macro lens of any focal length in natural light so I tend to bring my subjects inside to photograph with the camera firmly fixed to a tripod!

What can I say? I get lazy at times, and decide that I don't need to mess with a tripod, especially in the case of this lens, when I can keep shutter speeds at 1/125 or faster. Using the sunny f/16 rule, that's 1/500 @ f/8 at ISO 100. I was in the shade when I took these shots, though, so figure two stops more open, in which case, I'd still be at 1/125 @ f/8. Which is hand-holdable if I stay quite still.
Oh yeah, hey Kryss, do you know the story behind your chrome version? It looks quite nice, really. I especially like the contrast between the matte chrome and polished chrome look.

Anyone or everyone with one of these lenses, I have a PK mount version that I sent out to Marc Jensen to have him reassemble after I skillfully  disassembled. He is missing a part. I found this and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if this looks like a spacer that is under the mount?

Mine has a Olympus OM mount with no spacer between the mount and the aperture that I can see. Of course, it may be different on a Pentax model.

It appears to have the spacer you mention:-
