Oops - Sorry, Dan (and I also apologize to anyone else who tried
those links - <g>).  I've posted a pretty good mixture of forward
slashes and backslashes (the result of not totally transposing some
hard disk locations to the corresponding www URL's - <g>).  The
corrected URL's are appended below.  <sheepish grin>

Prompted by a recent thread involving the Vivitar Series 1 35-85/2.8
lens and its modification for newer K-mount bodies, I'm providing
some images involving this lens:

Here are two VS1 35-85/2.8's, the left one of which shows the extra
baffle, while the right one has been modified:

It is important, of course, to mask off completely the rest of the
lens when the extra baffle is being removed:

It is also possible to remove the K-mount flange and then remove the
extra baffle after masking off only the flange:
