Short description

This classic Vivitar Auto 28mm f/2.5 wide-angle lens for the versatile M42 screw mount is fully tested and operating properly. The lens body is in excellent aesthetic condition, showing little to no signs of previous wear, making it a sharp-looking addition to any compatible vintage setup. Adding to its excellent physical state, the glass elements are exceptionally clean and free of major defects, while the internal aperture blades operate properly and snap cleanly as intended. Please note that the aperture dial is currently quite stiff and difficult to turn through its full range of f-stops. Despite this stiff manual rotation, the internal mechanism responds correctly once set, offering an excellent opportunity to own a highly regarded vintage wide-angle prime lens with beautiful cosmetic and optical integrity.
