I just bought this lens from one of the local second lenses and cameras shop. I love its bokeh and wow by its capabilities. To make this thread more interesting, I set a quiz. Can anyone guess what lens this is by looking at the photo of it ?

Vivitar 135mm I think - it looks like mine (M42) and mine is delightfully sharp for a miniscule amount purchase from my best friends at Goodwill!

I think it is T4 Vivitar, either 135. I have something similar that came unassembled (still is) in a box of lens I got from the auction site we all know. I am glad you like the IQ. |

hi everyone, thanks for all your answers, most of you got the name right, Vivitar but Luis got it it, Auto Vivitar 200mm f3.5 but it is M42 mount. You guys are great ! I am also amazed by solid built and quality built of this Vivitar. When I hold it , it feel just like a Zeiss Sonnar !

I should have known from the distance scale (and f/stop) it wouldn't be a 135.
Here's the older large version:

The M42 mount on that is removable, and you can replace it with another mount for Nikon, Minolta, Canon FD, etc.
There is a switch on that lump on the rear knurled ring. Press that down and turn the ring, and the M42 mount will come off.
That is the T4 interchangable mount system.

On the lump it says O<-->L
I put the switch and turn, it is hard and won't rotate
