I am still looking for other focal lengths of these as I've seen 200mm and 28mm lenses with the chrome nose. May even be a 300mm out there. I'll keep looking. Thanks to those that have tried helping me with the search. Please keep looking my friends.

I rarely ever see any of these...I do have an older Vivitar 200mm F3.5 coming this Wednesday though (not a chrome nose, but before the serial# documentation) Here's a link to the eBay listing...

Jup, 3.5/135mm is real midget - could challenge the smallest whereas 2.8/135mm looks nearly the same in front as 1.8/85mm.

They are sweet beautiful lenses, I saw Beroflex lenses in this finish.

There are also Mamiya lenses (M42) that look like that.
I've got an Mamiya Sekor 1.8/55 which really would fit in there.

that 2,8/135 vivitar is a tokina made lens ?

Rino

So Dawg, why do you collect them? Is it looks, performance, or just that they're different?

Since I doubt Vivitar made one in this form or style in a normal lens, I'll have to look into that.

I'm almost sure these are Kiron made. I posted this to show that they are probably Kirons.....http://forum.mflenses.com/vivitar-chrome-nose-lenses-are-made-by-kiron-photo-evidence-t30239.html

All of the above my friend...plus the adventure of finding and completing a set like this keeps my interest alive.
