Update: I have found one Smile

Preferably from within the EU.
Does not have to look nice, but optics and
focusing must be in good order.

Just a thought, but you could swap the mount from an OM 28/2.8 to a CF 28/2.8 that has a different mount perhaps? I have a 28/2.8 om and a 28/2.8 CF PKA.

@twinquartz, I Have a Vivitar 28mm f2.5 with OM mount. It focuses in to about 18-20 cm. If there is another special close focus version, I don't know.

Davs, Jutland!

Thanks for your reply.
The model I am after has the
words "Close Focus" printed/engraved on the
front ring of the lens.

What are you expecting to pay for one of these?
I have an excellent copy, OM mount, which I might be prepared to sell.

Enjoying it? I think I just scored an f/2.0 version.

Oh yes, I do enjoy it - even if mine is "just" a 2.8.
I also managed to find a Vivitar 2x Macro Focusing Teleconverter,
which makes an interesting addition to my collection of usable items.
