I guess, I should grind off the f-number of some of my older 135mm lenses and re-engrave an "f1.5". Then I could sell this lens for hundreds of dollars...
Silly people and easy money lead to criminal behaviour. 
No, don't worry. I will not do that. I want to stay a member here.

Quoting Robert Monaghan:
"I should mention that there were a few even faster 135mm f/1.8 and even f/1.5 lenses made by Vivitar in 1968, using the preset T-mount. But these lenses were much poorer performers optically than the later Series I 135mm f/2.3 lenses. Avoid them!"
"[Ed. note: Thanks to Gregg for this chart; unfortunately, I feel it supports my conclusion that the lens is too low resolution used wide open, that you would be better with a much lighter and smaller lens (like the Vivitar 135mm f/2.3 Series I cited above) which is sharper and quite usable wide open...]
"Dimensions: 5" long, 4" wide, 4lb,8oz (Vivitar ad says: 5.5" by 4", 4lb, 3 oz 7 elements, 6 groups, min focus 6 feet" |

Well, I was not implying that this was done to this lens, it just came to my mind as a illegal way to earn some money.
