Up for sale is an excellent cult macro lens, the Vivitar 55mm f/2.8 Auto Macro. 

This cult classic lensis manufactured by the Komine corporation, considered the best of the Vivitar manufacturers.  With the 90mm Auto Telephoto macro and 55mm Auto Macro, this lens comprises 1/3 of the so-called "holy trinity" of Komine-made Vivitar/Panagor macros.

It is capable of extremely sharp 1:1 macro images, with fantastic color and clarity.

Lens is in lovely vintage condition with very light exterior wear, excellent mechanics, and glass free of scratches/haze/fungus. One of the nicest examples of this lens I have ever come across.

This lens features the Minolta MD mount which can be used natively on Minolta MD mount 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.
