Item Description
This is an ultra rare and excellent copy of Vivitar Series One 55mm f1.2, which I understand is based on the Revuenon, but in the ultra-rare Vivitar VMC badging. I am not sure if this was actually sold retail given how rare this lens is.
I have owned this lens for about 5 year and I genuinely get a little excited flutter in the tummy every time I click it on to the camera - it's got beautiful EVERYTHING. Gorgeous 9 blade bokeh, fantastic color and contrast (esp. at f2 and slower) and a wonderful multi-coating that makes cleaning a breeze. Also really quite incredible sharpness even at f1.2.
During the 5-year I owned the lens, I only took it out of the house once. This is one of those museum pieces that I play around with and just admire how incredible the lens of the yesteryear was built.
The lens is in EXCELLENT condition cosmetically, optically and mechanically. There is really nothing else to say, I basically can't find fault with it except for the original front cap - has some light marks on it (see photos) but nothing serious. Also comes with Tokina rear cap.
Given the lens is fully manual with no electronic contact, you would use the lens as any other Pentax M prime lens.
