I wrote about strange 3.5/200 (T4 mount) Vivitar with "no Tokina" SN ->100xxx.
Here we go: all ISO 400 -photos taken very late

The last one has great atmosphere.

No problem with this lens, it seems.

The "only a Vivitar" attitude is what I like, because of that you can get excellent glass for little money. Wink

I have this lens in M42 (Komine) and got if for either $15 or $17.50 from
a local seller that I picked up at his place of business. Reminds me to try it
again, quite a sharp lens!

All these shots are great, beautiful bokeh!

Katastrofo
This way you made better deal. I had to pay $12.5 shipping Sad .
But now I can make decision to buy any lens with T4 mount if in description states about good optic and fair mechanics. They are all good and very good.
I knew that it suppose to be sharp lens. And it is.

Very Happy Cool
Vivitars (not all) are the most underrated lenses in my opinion.

Both you and the lense did very well.

Looks good - I particularly like the last one.
