[EXPIRED] 'Vivitar Series 1 105mm 2.5 Macro (Kiron)

[Skorzen]

Ok so I am cleaning out my Pentax lens collection and moving to another system so I will be listing a bunch of Pentax gear in the next little while. First to go up is a Vivitar Series 1 105mm Macro. Most of you probably know that this lens was made by Kiron for Vivitar and IMHO is one of the best macro lenses out there for Pentax.

This lens is incredibly sharp, here is a 100% crop of an image shot at ISO 400 with a K20D (exif says 35mm, I forgot to set the fl for SR).


The lens is used but in what I would call very good to excellent condition. I don't see any marks or fungus on the glass, maybe a little dust, but that is it.

I'm asking $400 given the recent prices on ebay with a Kiron branded version selling for $475. Also notice that the lens I am selling is the A version meaning that you get the full auto metering on the DSLR's.
