Wanted - Acquired: Vivitar 135 Close Focusing

gatorguy · 01-11-2022, 03:02 PM

After twice attempting to buy this lens on our favorite auction site I now realize that most sellers have no idea that there's a difference between this one and a basic Vivitar 135 NON-macro. Over and over they are described as the macro when they are not.

I would much prefer dealing with one of our own members who generally know what they have. PM if you have a copy you might part with.

I think I have the one you are looking for.
Let me check this today and I will be back to confirm (or not).
