Hi All,

Happy New Year.
My macro lens is a Vivitar 105mm f2.5 made by Kiron in 1984 inthe third week and I cannot speak highly enough of it.

Mongo bought one of these new quite a few years ago as the age of the lens will imply. Mongo agrees - it was a superb macro/portrait lens. Mongo sold it to another AP member who was/is over the moon with it. Mongo had 4 other macros so one had to go and Mongo already had another 105 macro.

Hi Mongo,

The Vivitar actually replaced a Tamron 90mm f2.8, ( Ithink that is correct as I am over a thousand kilometers from it at the moment), Adaptall lens that now sits in the dehumidifier, unused, but not unloved!

Regards.
