Monday Wish List

Every now and then I put together this cheesy little list of old lenses that I'd love to be able to find. I'd love to add this older lens to my collection of "relics"...














The lens shown was made by Kiron / Kino Precision Industries. Kiron made this lens under its own labels and for other brands. There are four known versions:

• Kiron 105mm f/2.8
• Lester Dine 105mm f/2.8
• Vivitar100mm f/2.8
• Vivitar 105mm f/2.5 Series 1

Apparently, it's one of the best MF macro lenses ever made and unfortunately the name has caught on and it's very difficult to find one under $200.

I'll hopefully be going out tomorrow for a little shooting if the weather permits...I'll post the results.
