I was so happy when I got this lens, I heard a lot about it's quality. Not easy to get many perfect Nikon lens available on the used lens market ,but hard to find the most famous Vivitar lenses. Perhaps they are sold in smaller amount or owner want to keep them ? Don't know the reason,but that is true this lens available on Ebay with right mount only twice a year.It has quality build , all parts made from glass and metal. Compare with it's age not too heavy , easy to focusing and produce crisp, sharp images even at wide open. It has great resolution and color rendering. This lens part of the American history like Carl Zeiss Jena Olympic Sonar 180mm f2.8 the German history. Close focusing ability is legendary 1.2 m ! This is same distance than many 135m lens has. An excellent macro performer with extension tube, bigger working distance is very important in macro photography to get more light and not trouble the target subject. |

Not an official Nikkor designation, but in common use. Light meter
coupling was manual; the maximum aperture of the lens was communicated
to the light meter by mounting the lens with the aperture ring set to
f/5.6, and then turning the ring to first the minimum and then the
maximum apertures.

Nikkor name on early lenses, designating the number of elements in the
design.

I guess everybody heard about Takumar lenses quality and so many people use the common ones like 135mm Takumar lenses. They are sharp, quality built lenses. Imagine this quality in a faster, shorter focal length. This lens a perfect, portrait lens very well built, reasonable fast and sharp wide open.Quite rare lens show up two or three times per year on Ebay. In my opinion quality is good as than it's more expensive brother Takumar 85mm f1.8. I really enjoyed to work with this lens. Easy to handle , light weight, always a good performer. |

This is one of the legendary Russian lenses. Made on the base of Flektogon but tweaked by the Russians this lens and other Russian lenses issued in 1958 were awarded in Brussels Show with the prestigious "Grand Prix" award. On the other side Mir-1B has very controversial state among photographers. One awe it, others hate it. The lens by itself is very well build. All metal finish, quality paint and robust construction. Image quality is great. The lens produces very snappy colors with great contrast. Wide open its sharpness is acceptable on but 5.6 and onward Mir becomes tack sharp. Bokeh is a little harsh in the highlights but it is a least of concern. Chromatic aberrations are very low to none but the lens easy catches flares so hood usage is recommended. As Flektogon derivate there is no distortion. The lens is ideal for shooting architecture. Mir is a great performer as a macro lens with extension tubes. To keep front protruded lens element clear from scratches and dust it is best to use UV filter. Mir-1b is small almost pocket size. This lens is one small Russian jewel that has an irreplaceable place in my photo bag.
