All welcome - Vivitar/Cosina, Voigtlander/Cosina, Cosina/Cosina.
I'll start it off with one I can't find on-line anywhere - without the vivitar name. This one isn't Vivitar tho. It just says Cosina. Specifically: "Cosina 70-210mm 1:2.8-3.8 MC Macro Lens made in Japan".
It seems to be a pretty good lens. Here it is wide open at about 110mm - so I guess that would be like f/3.0 or f/3.2, or there about.
Handheld, ~f/3.2, 1/50s, ISO-640, ~110mm, Camera GH1, Focus Distance ~5m

Voigtlander 50mmf1.8 Color-Ultron
I need to update, as I have many other much better photos, though, not enough time...
Those look pretty good! I'm looking forward to seeing more - especially if they're "much better"!!!
Here's the rest of mine. "the rest"... All of which just being from the first few hours with the lens. (at least of the ones half worth posting). I'll snap some the next time I go out I think. This lens is massively heavy but pretty fun to shoot with. It's pretty bright!
Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, CV 12mm Heliar (LTM) on a Bessa 4M - shot close to wide open, so the sharpness isn't that great.
Also, pushing Fuji Pro 800Z to 1600 wasn't nice of me, either.
At least I didn't get my finger in the shot, like often happened when I first started using the lens.
They were horrible!
I will not perform quick edits anymore.
Not that I know how properly to edit for the web anywho.
I was wanting to show the bokeh difference of lens, got carried away.

They're not that bad I think. A little WB here, a little copping there, wa-la - masterpiece!
I have a Cosina 28, it doesn't say "Macro" or "Zeiss" but the price was right.
I did see some rather heavy distortion in the corners, where some fence posts lean in to the center.
but the price was right.
