One of probably 30 made: SN 1972(year)12(number), they don't come often:

Vivitar Professional 135mm 1:1.5 (first lens with the Vivitar name)

Mint, no marks on glass, 100% working, no fungus/fog, boxed, incl. orig. shade and 95mm Nikon filter
Nikon F mount (T4 adapter, can be changed)
Price: 900,- EUR (incl. Paypal, plus shipment)
Big lens, very small DOF, not easy to focus, but sharp enough (see crop from the cat; pictures made today @ f/1.5 on a Sony NEX)

Thanks for looking!

Surely a great tool for the ambient light shooter! Too much CA for my taste, but I guess that comes with such designs optimized for speed.

Which you best of luck with your sale of that rare (and very good looking) piece!!

What an astonishing hunk of glass, at an eminently reasonable price. The world is poorer for there being so few of them. Wish to death I had the scratch right now. Totally jealous of whoever lands this one.

edit: Just noticed this thing has a preset aperture, too. Damn. Just damn.
