it's a great lens.

Hi!
If anyone needs to have some parts of their russian manual lens
translated I would be happy to help. I think that parts such as
explanation how to mount or dismount the lens and/or similar require
no translation.
But special stuff - feel free to e-mail me the scans of the manual.
HTH.

Ian,
I've got one of these, which I have had for a couple of years. I've been
told by two people that there has to be a filter on all the time as it is
part of the optical formula. However:

mention of the filter being necess

I'll ditto that comment, Nick.
I got mine some time ago. I went in for a Pentqx W/A. The old camera
shop owner told me he didn't have one, but to try this Vivitar, and see
what I think. He discounted it handsomely and said he'd take it back if
I didn't like it.
He'll NEVER get it back!
That is a

I assume you mean f2.5? I bought one a couple of weeks ago and it's now
in the post from Russia - I'll post some comments and photos to the list
when it arrives. :-)

to buy it. (No knowledge of Russian required...)

I use the excellent Vivitar 19mm f3.8. A bit slower but a superb lens that's rarely
out of my camera bag.

Fellow pentaxphiles
There seems to be a growing number of russian lenses arriving on the scenes,
and some notable specialists such as Herbert Keppler, seem to suggest they
can be great value.
