Up for sale is an excellent vintage third party  lens, the Vivitar 28mm f/2.5 Wide-Angle. 

This cult classic lens is manufactured by the Kiron corporation, considered among the best of the Vivitar manufacturers, as indicated by the serial number beginning in "22."  Its fast f/2.5 max aperture would set it apart from other 28mm lenses of its day, which typically topped out in the f/2.8-f/3.5 range


Lens is in Excellent vintage condition with very light exterior wear (looks like an inventorynumber was inscribed then scratched out at one point) , excellent mechanics, and glass free of scratches/haze/fungus.


This lens features the Canon FD mount which can be used natively on Canon film SLRs. It also can easily be adapted for manual use on most popular DSLR, and mirrorless formats with an inexpensive adapter ring (sold separately, see chart below for digital compatibility).


If you have any questions about whether this lens is adaptable to your camera system, please contact me before purchase.
