Arrived today from KEH. They graded it BGN... $133 plus shipping, and looking very good. An eBay seller would have easily put this one up BIN @ $300.
The lens itself:
Some quick samples:
Example without 1:1 adapter:
I may take it out to the campus tomorrow to shoot one of the biology professors' arthropod collections (Live tarantulas). |

Yes, this is an excellent makro lense, built like a tank, with a well-deserved reputation. I only found that taking it out on a sunny day without a sun-shade is not such a good idea, as it is very prone to flare.
As I hardly do any makro-photography at all, I just recently came to the conclusion that it doesn't make sense for me to keep mine (as much as I hate to give a lense away I have), but don't want to sell it (money is simply too boring), but would consider an exchange against two of the Russian lenses like MIR 24 H, Helios-81H or a Kiev lense that I can use without an adapter with my Nikon D200/D 700.
The Vivitar I have comes with Nikon F-mount, is in excellent condition in it's original case, which looks like leather, but is made of cardboard and is pretty battered. I got it without any lense caps, and substituted Nikon caps to protect the lense.
Thomas
P.S. As postage to the USA is prohibitive, I would prefer an exchange with someone in Germany/Europe.

Mike, that is a nice looking lens and the price is super good. As you said, you can never get it that cheap on the 'bay. It's a Cult Lens among collectors and hence the price on 'bay. I don't shot much macro (too cold outside now). After a couple of years buying MF, my collection grows to a point that I have all the Vivitar dedicated macro, 90/2.8 Komine, 90/2.5 Tokina, 90-180 Flat Field and recently the Lester Dine 105.
I have put up the Komine on the bay since the others are just too good to justify keeping it. The good part about the Komine made is it can go all the way 1:1 lifesize without any adapter.
Hopefully by spring, I can do more test and keep only one. But I am pretty sure it will be hard as the bokeh on the Tokina is simply superb, it slowly melts away from the point of focus. I am never tired at looking at the above pic. It's sometime refers to as Bokina.
The Tokina labeled is even more rarely found on sale and tend to fetch more money. I have not seen much better images from Zeiss or others to justify investing more than the Vivitars.
Enjoy yours! |

That was the reason why I bought it. And I don't have any macro picture yet to compare and to make matter worse, I broke my Nikon F to Canon adapter right before the Dine arrived. Hopefully before Spring I can have an adapter to make comparison.
Also unfortunately there are 2 small spots of fungus growing on the underside of second element. I managed to open the first element but the second was impossible to open with a homemade lens spanner a.k.a compass 
The seller did not disclose the information and it was a non-local Craigslist deal, I don't have any recourse. Moral of the story, stick to KEH whenever possible.
I think someone at the Pentax Forum posted a very convincing picture. I dont have the URL, you might want to google it.
Cheers.

I'm still curious about the 105 since it's a Kiron. The 70-210/3.5 is an impressive lens, and equally built like a tank.
I actually ordered a second 70-210/3.5 in the same shipment as the 90. I noticed it in the AS-IS section for $6 because of a stiff zoom mechanism. I figure I'll keep it for spares or try and fix it if anyone has any ideas. |

The Dine/Kiron can go 1:1 without the need of an adapter. And it can be a littler farther from the object with the slightly longer FL.
Anyone Stateside has a spare Nikon F to Canon adapter? I am eager to give it a test too.
Yeah the 70-210 was my dream lens when I started photography in the 80s. But couldn't afford it then.
Now I have the Viv S1 28-90 Kiron which is a marvelous lens. Our member here, Andy of f16sunshine recommends it and I would not disagree. |

The 105 is built like a tank too (very heavy) but still convenient
The 105 fl allows to take pictures without beeing too close from subject (a 50mm is far less practical - too close )
Pls find images taken with the 105 kiron :

I remember when I was little and living in Albany, the Boxelders descended in swarms one year and were all over the house. I've always loved bugs so I had a field day.
Here in Florida we have a similar experience twice a year with those "love bugs"... Only they're a lot less interesting and a lot more annoying. |

Could you please explain which is the reason of your posting? Is there a relation between Vivitar Series 1 90/2.5 Macro and the 105? |

If you have been following the thread, it ( or related lenses) were mentioned by Mike, bawang & PBfacts on the first page of this thread & this lens is related to the Vivitar Series One 105 made by Kino (aka Kiron) mentioned previously in comparison...

I have both the Kiron 105mm f2.8 version and the Vivitar 90mm f2.5. Both performed well but I like better the bokeh from the Vivitar though I had limited shots only and none posted yet in my online site.
cheers,
gil
From the Kiron 105mm f2.8
