Although I am a Takumar lenses collector I some times buy some other lens (symptoms of LBA). So I bought Vivitar 35 f1,9 with M42 mounth. After two weeks I can say that lens is good and it will stay with me. Lens is sharp enough from f1,9, and very sharp from f4. Some pictures with my Pentax K20d:

great lens! the only viv prime lens that really impressed me. it produces really freaky colored iris ghosts when a hard light source hits the front.
bokeh sort of creamy, I noticed my copy has a bluish tint.
Less CA than the 2/35 Zuiko and less distortion.
Always searched for a shorter lens to use it with the helios 44, now I found it!

I was pretty sure there was a non-series 1 - presumably earlier. A search provided this link which pictures the non-series 1.

Of course, there are "better" lenses, but with f/1.9 you won't find many.
It's a nice allround-lens for a crop cam!

If it is a series 1 it should say so on the lens bezel at the front of the lens. Also looks like a Komine made lens and that can be confirmed by the serial number. 22XXXX for Kiron and 28XXXX for Komine.
My sources show a 35mm f/1.9 made in 1975 at a then cost of $165.00 and in todays money around $600.00.

Following old litterature : some well known lenses s1 were first sold as standard vivitar (non s1)
Even the Most famous 70/210 3.5 was first announced
as a vivitar lens (non s1)
as an interchangeable T mount lens (no more precision : t2 , t4 , tx , t??)
And of course ONLY sold as S1 fixed mount (manufactured only by kiron)
Was tokina (t4/tx mount) the first subcontractor ????
Was vivitar adopting the S1 name because they had a problem with Tokina wich was planning with soligor the c/d range ???

At the times of vivitars in T mount (pre 1970) some of them were made by tokina. I had a 1,8/85 in that serie and was a tokina lens. The 2,8/135 of the same style seems to be made by tokina too.

Komine 35/1.9 wasn't marked as "series one", despite its performance was good. I'd say it is sharper than S-M-C 35/2.0 stopped down, but less contrasty. It was one of the first computer-designed vivitar wide-angle lens.

My lens has serial number 28417551, so it should be made in 1974. Lens is quite sharp wide open at center and noticeably less sharp at the edges (on DX format). At f5,6 and f8 sharpness in more homogeneous, but there is still visible less sharpness at corners. Here is one more shoot with this lens which is now my kit lens.
