Overview

The Vivitar Telephoto 135mm f/1.5 Professional is an extremely rare lens, produced in a very small batch (30–300 units) in 1967. It features a preset T-mount, 16-blade diaphragm, and weighs nearly 2 kg. Optically, it delivers unique rendering wide open, but requires refurbishment due to common issues like scratches, fungus, and dust. Build is solid but heavy, with a metal hood and tripod collar. It suits collectors and enthusiasts seeking a fast, rare portrait lens, though practical use demands careful handling and servicing.
