Correction: lens is Vivitar 55mm (Macro 1:1), not 50mm. People interested in older, legacy lenses may be interested to research the history of some of these lenses. Little is known of the Vivitar lens except that comments from a former Ponder & Best (remember them?) employee believed the lens was made by a Japanese lens manufacturer called Komine, and based on Vivitar\'s lens numbering system, No. 28xx.
As for the lens itself, it is rather heavy, yet solidly built, with buttery smooth focusing and deemed very sharp from f4 onwards and sharp at f2.8 in the center. I\'ll be testing this over some colorful jellyfish at the Monterey Bay Aquarium
