Got this for $0.99 on ebay, plus shipping. Almost a new lens...pristine condition. I don't know who had it or how they kept it this clean but this is one clean lens. You'll find lots of these on the auction sights and they are almost never sold for more than 20-30 dollars. Quite a bit smaller than it's brother the 75-260...http://forum.mflenses.com/new-lens-acquisition-vivitar-75-260mm-14-5-t4-t15132.html. I'll post some photos taken with it if the sun will ever comes out. This dark and gloomy stuff is driving me crazier.....than I already am.

Yours certainly looks more pristine than mine - I don't think most people used theirs much, the lens was more a marketing proposition than a photographic one.

However, I love mine at the wide end, where contrast, color and bokeh are very nice. But then, it's silly to carry a 230mm lens with tripod collar just to take pics at 90mm


I look forward to some pics!
