F.S. - Vivitar 90mm f/2.8 Auto Telephoto Macro (1:1) in great condition

Hi all,

I will be back in the UK for a week from the 12th so I'll put this up here in case anyone is interested. I will need confirmation by Tuesday morning at the latest because if it doesn't sell I won't be taking it over with me.

This is a classic 90mm f/2.8 Vivitar with 1:1 macro in Excellent ++ condition. Cosmetically virtually perfect, focus is silky smooth, aperture clicks nicely and stops down properly. It's perfect for anyone looking for the manual focus experience of 1:1 macro and feels much better in use than modern AF lenses. No fungus and minimal dust for a lens of it's age.

I have too many lenses around this focal length and too many macro-capable lenses and this one doesn't get enough use.

Here are a couple of nice photos of it on my ME followed by a few dodgy phone photos.

Here are a few images taken with it, showing it's good for macro but pretty decent as a mid-telephoto general-use lens too.

I'm asking for £69 plus postage (probably another £7 or so signed-for and insured).

Thanks for looking

I've got one of those. Great lens. I don't think your examples taken on Fuji cameras actually do it justice, especially those macro shots.. Try some with your K-1.

If anyone wants to gift me a K-1 I will very gladly take a few more sample shots
