I've just won from ebay the vivitar 35/1.9 for GBP 48.01. Do you think this is a good price for the lens?
I have read from the forum this lens is a hidden gem with good sharpness and bokeh.
I will post a picture sample when it comes from UK
Thanks

I never used one so I can't tell you about its performance (only read about it here and elsewhere), but I followed many on ebay because I was trying to buy one, and for that price it seems a great deal, if the lens is in good condition.

What's the serial number on the lens?
If it begins with "28" it's a Komine made lens, a very nice one I'd add  . Take a look here http://forum.mflenses.com/vivitar-35mm-f1-9-t501.html and here http://forum.mflenses.com/viewtopic.php?t=33661

I owned this lens and sold it when I need funds few years ago. Recently bought it again from one of the forum member. A good used copy ends about $80 to $100 without shipping in ebay US recently.
