I recently won on ebay another Konica T4 and the seller is including another
lens, a Vivitar 80-230mm in M42 mount. The only thing I've found is that it
might be f4.5 and a foot long! Does anyone have this lens?

I have Vivitar Series 1 90-180mm f4.5 Flatfield macro zoom, I expect pretty good result from this lens too.

I'll take a pic of it when it arrives, thanks, Attila!

Sounds like the two-touch Tokina 90-230mm/4.5 zoom, sold in T4 and dedicated mount. I have one in M42.

There was more than one version of this, sold through different vendors, some 75-230, and there may be an 80-230.

Mine is pretty good actually, though the minimum focus is a bit long at 9 feet. But mine is the first version, a later one may be better.

Or you may get something completely different !

Luis, you were dead-on, it's the Tokina (37 serial#) and 90-230/4.5 in
M42 mount. Lots of paint missing on the barrel, but the glass looks OK.
Also has a tripod mount on the barrel, good thing as this is a heavy beast.

Russ, not familiar with the brand you mentioned.
