Vivitar MC Close Focus Wide Angle 28mm F2

Vivitar MC Close Focus Wide Angle 28mm F2.0 K-mount, Serviced by Komine

This is a domestically produced wide-angle lens that has received extremely high praise on sites like Pentax Forums (/userreviews/vivitar-28mm-f2-0-mc-close-focus-wide-angle-series.html) and is believed to be made by Komine. It was serviced by a professional in late May 2022. The service included greasing, tightening loose lens components, cleaning glass (though haze on the second element from the front could not be removed, and coating deterioration causing haze on the third element from the rear remained).

The package includes the lens body, original front cap, and Pentax rear cap.

Here are my observations from a non-professional inspection:

* The exterior is in good condition for its age, or slightly better. There are no noticeable issues, but there are minor scratches and scuffs. There is also one spot where a sticker has been removed.
* Especially with high-resolution cameras, the lens performance may not keep up, resulting in blurring or purple fringing in strong sunlight or at wide apertures. Please understand this is typical for older lenses.
* The optics are clean due to the servicing, but as the technician mentioned, there is slight haze. There are also some minor dust or scratches.
* The aperture blades, helicoid, and other controls operate smoothly.
* Photo 6: Wide open at F2, extremely strong backlight.
* Photo 8: F11, sun.
* Photo 9: F4, strong sidelight.
* Photo 10: F5.6, direct light.

Shipping will be via Rakuten's Rakuraku Mercari service.
