Been searching on the web for past couple days but can't find any details on the lens. The only Vivitar 100/f2.8 that showed up is the macro version but the non-macro seems to be unknown.
Anyone has any idea?
Here are the pictures of the lens taken from eBAY

I think I have the lens you speak of but labeled as a Hanimar. One distinguishing feature is that it focuses clockwise to infinity, opposite most Vivitars. Mine is Canon FL mount. Here's a pic.

casualcollector and BigDawg - thanks for chiming in. I guess we'll have to wait until I have the lens to find out for sure. The serial number starts with 40xxxxx so I guess it's a much older lens made before Vivitar started using the serial structure that we know today.

I agree after comparing it with my Pentor version. The A/M switch is the same, and so are the engravings on the DOF scale. Only the feet/meter scales have been switched. This should be a VERY fine lens!

The 40 could be an older one than the normal range of Vivitart serial numbers which started in the very late 60's and ended in the early 90's. But most serial number lists do not show a 77XXX number either and we know that is a Kobori serial number. Vivitar seemed with the presets to use different groups as a series...such as the 4XXXX series the 5XXXX series, the 6XXXX series and the 7XXXX series. Usually these had a 28mm a 35mm a 135mm, a 200mm and sometimes a 300mm and a 400mm Etc...... Some of these series had oddball sizes thrown into the mix such as a 85mm, a 180mm or a 250mm. There may be a 100mm I've not seen or heard of...heck The 2 window 250mm I found was not that widely known either....it has a 6XXXX serial number.

Does anyone know how this Tokina 2.8/100mm fits in the family ?
Or is this something completely different
