Vivitar 90mm F2.8 Macro 1:1 (Komine)

[eddieitman]

Well after buying this Vivitar Komine Macro 1:1 (M42) for a very good price compared to what they go for.
It arrived and could only have been described as brand new, looked like it had never been used.
Armed with Tripod and Sony Nex i went down for a quick walk and took a few non exciting samples, all i can say is that i am please with the results.
The colours seem very nice especially greens, and seem to have plenty of pop
Did not manage to use it at 1:1 but the one of the snow drop was at 1:1.75
Most shot at F8 to F5.6

Great shots. I have this lens too. Comparing it to the Tamron 90/2.5, it's not as sharp wide open, but it goes to 1:1 (Tamron is only 1:2). I do like the character of this lens though.
