Very very good condition and as with almost all 135mm lens it is a sharp one. Got it for $3.75 US and $7.99 US shipping. A very great bargain. As a T4 it is of course made by Tokina for Vivitar and they did a masterful job with this one. Comes with a built in lens hood to help with the flair and very little CA for a lens of this time period. (early 70's). Came with a CS T4 to M42 adapter. The CS adapter has a pin to stop down the aperture allowing a quick manual stop down. Just set the aperture, then focus with the aperture wide open and then push the pin to stop the aperture down to the setting chosen. Works great and I highly recommend one for the T4 shooters out there. Anyway...Here it is.

Are you a tad overexposed on those test shots? I just discovered that I have that lens. I bought it just for the M42 mount. Saw a small spot of fungus, so put it aside and have never used. If anyone would like to have it, let me know.

Probably far less common than the f2.8 version! Looks like a fine performer.

Looks excellent - the CS mount is wonderful - you can also use a thick rubber band or hair scrunchie to hold the pin down.

Less common but still out there. As sharp or sharper than my 135mm f/2.8 T4 and cost less. Just a tad slower.

Yep...done that too. Much easier than removing the spring on a normal T4 mount.

Never less than a 5 dollar bid my friend and then the snipers may still get you.
