For Sale FD Vivitar 24/2 $60

[j-dogg]

Vivitar 24/2 Wide-angle.....lens has a small dent in the top, can still mount filters. Aperture nice and snappy, focusing is smooth, stops down to 16 just fine, no oil on the aperture blades. No caps but I'm sure I can dig up a front cap for it somewhere. Has a couple of cleaning scratches in the front element but does not affect image quality. Sharp contrasty negatives a damn shame this isn't Nikon mount or I'd keep it.

I'm trying to fund another one of my hobbies......buy this bad boy for 60 bucks plus shipping which is not much.

I ship international too.

I will take a Soviet turret finder for FED/Zorki as a trade.

Or a 35/2.8 Jupiter-12

It sure is, I almost built an FD system around it

I would also take a 50/2 Jupiter lens, offer me Soviet stuff.

I have a black Jupiter-8. I might consider a trade...

 

[j-dogg]

Ooooh it's tempting.

Would really like a J-12 Biogon clone though

 

[Richard S. (rich815)]

Ok I was just replying to your mentioning above a 50/2 Jupiter. That's the Jupiter-8. Sonnar-clone.

 

[j-dogg]

Oh I know......im biding my time I know I'll go through with the trade and someone will offer a J-12

Almost forgot has to be m39 LTM

No worries. I have a J-12 myself and I'm keeping it for now. And yes both are m39 LTM. Let me know if you change your mind and want to consider the Jupiter-8. I have both the 50/2 at the 50/1.5 real Sonnars for my Contax IIa and a whole slew of 50s for my Leica M and LTM cameras so feel like I could let the Jupiter-8 go. I picked up recently a beaten up F1 body and would love to give this 24/2 a try with it.

I just wanted to add that this is a nice lens to use. Vivitar is pretty hit or miss. This is a definite hit in my books. Good luck with the sale.

Do you happen to have a turret finder?

 

[Richard S. (rich815)]

I have a Leica Vidom Finder. 35-135 view.

 

[j-dogg]

Hmmmmm.....got some pics of the j8? Im looking for a Soviet finder.
