Item Description
For sale is a beautiful copy of the legendary
Vivitar Series 1, version 1 built by Kiron. This one is in excellent optical and cosmetic condition with clean glass, snappy blades, smooth zoom with no creep, and smooth, well dampened focus. This lens shows only the slightest signs of careful use and looks to have been stored in its case most of its life. The only cosmetic issue is the Series 1 lens cap has some decayed case foam stuck to the outside surface ... needs some patience to soak or scrape it off. The lens cap works fine otherwise.
This is a fully manual lens, with no autofocus or AE function.
Note: To use this lens with a modern DSL camera, the shutter linkage guard must be removed (three screws at the rear mount-easy) or Dremeled to properly mount. The sample photos below were taken with the guard removed. I remounted the guard for sale, as you see it in the photos below.
A legendary shooter with great contrast and rendition, a solid and vibrant macro, and a retro look that is awesome on a digital body!
