That lens shows good potential indeed! I wanna see more as you take them! I dunno if everyone already knows this or not but if you can bring out the aperture blades in just a tiny bit it usually helps a lot in shoring up most of the WO softness. So when you're looking through the lens off camera - juuuuust so that the blades make an appearance I suppose with a f/2.8 lens that would be f/2.9 or f/2.95 or something.Female House Finch
G1 + Vivitar (Komine)135mm 2.8, ISO 500, f2.8 @ ~1/640 sec, hand held. I got really bored and made shot through bedroom window while recuperating from recent knee replacement surgery. This image is cropped from the original raw file and PP in ACR 6.3. It was shot on a dark overcast day. This cheap lens seems to be pretty sharp and I'm anxious to give it further trials.
Comments are always appreciated
Wow, thanks all!+2 :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs: The Tesselator posts some amazing images.
Yes! So true, Tesselator. It's amazing how much sharpness and contrast improves with just stopping down slightly from wide open, especially with fast legacy lenses.I dunno if everyone already knows this or not but if you can bring out the aperture blades in just a tiny bit it usually helps a lot in shoring up most of the WO softness.

Thanks Tesselator. Your advice is always appreciated. Another attribute I found with this lens is its' ease of focusing. I have both of the Tokina and Komine Series 1 70-210 versions. Both produce very high quality images. I have found that I prefer the Tokina version because it's a bit more compact and lighter.Thanks!
Thanks!

There are some real winners with the Vivitar name on... Especially the Series-1 ones. (Cosina and Tamron SP too...)
Wow, thanks all!
Wonderful portraits and a lovely model. That Nokton is a very special lens indeed.GH2 w/ Voigtlander 35mm f/1.2 Nokton Aspherical @ f/1.2, ISO 320
