Looks like a Pro's camera and lens instead of an Alabama Redneck's.

I'm looking forward to hearing how it performs against the other Vivitars.

That looks like a 'tidy job' as we'd say around here. Wink

Did you find another rubber grip or make something fit, that tapered grip looks like it would be hard to make?

Soon we will see. Maybe a 135mm All Vivitar shoot out.

I bought a Vivitar 75-205mm "One touch" lens with a Minolta mount and removed the rubber focus grip then cut it down to fit the 135mm lens. Works great that way.I did the same for my 200mm f/3 Vivitar.
