Recently bought a Vivitar 135/2.8 (Komine) for cheap, and based on my first 20 shots with my old Fuji S2, the lens exceeded my expectations Cool

I am especially impressed with its performance at f2.8, which is really what I bought it for. Backgrounds fade away, and sharpness is very good. Here's a 100% crop shot at a lake the other day, handheld, iso 200, shutter 1/250th:



And here's one from the backyard in evening light, handheld, f2.8:



Anyway, it's a nice lens, and can be had very cheaply!

Welcome mediumformat - we have several MedF afficionados here. Nice samples (and yours too Helios). One of my favourites is the Viv Ser1 CF version of this lens, and this is clearly from the same design family.
