Kiron 2.8/105?

Superb lens! I have had C/Y version before but this one is even better!

Fantastic unique colours and high (very high) contrast.

The lens has still its own FD mount -- therefore, I held the lens just in front of the camera and .. focusing by body movement Smile

All shots at f/5.6

PP in LightRoom..

Simply beautiful shots, Stan! So is this lens the same as the "legendary" Vivitar S1 105mm macro? I mean, I know that Kiron made the VS1 105 macro, but I don't know if that's the only 105 macro that Kiron made.

Great shots, tf! I'm always amazed on how much you manage to do by just holding the lens in front of the camera.

I think it is (for VS1 with 22 starting serial n.). The only thing that makes confusion is the f2.5 aperture with the VS1, but I guess that's just marketing attempt, both should be 2.8?

Yeah, I was wondering if the f/2.5 might have been a marketing ploy.

Superb glass and superb results with it. Only what a pity that butterfly is not whole in focus.

Smile to all - thank you very much and thanks to Spotmatic (member of MF lenses:)

for this idea..

The thing is that FD mount fits into EF mount very well --

Yes this lens also was branded as Vivitar ...

This Canon FD version has something like fixed rear glass element and it may improve the image quality -- Smile I didn't notice this glass in C/Y version..
