Lot 697: An Assortment of Vintage 35mm SLR Camera Lenses including Vivitar
A collection of manual focus camera lenses designed for 35mm SLR systems, featuring a variety of focal lengths and specialised optics. The group includes a telephoto zoom lens marked 90-230mm with an aperture range of f/5.6 to f/22, bearing a gold oval PASSED quality control sticker. Another lens features an EE setting on the aperture ring, indicative of automatic exposure compatibility for systems such as Konica AR, with a distance scale marked in metres and feet. A dedicated macro lens is present, marked 1:1 for life-size magnification, with a maximum aperture of f/4 and Japanese manufacture. The collection also contains a standard 50mm f/1.8 prime lens and a large telephoto zoom lens with a dual-ring design, showing a focal length indicator at 75mm and a distance scale extending to infinity. The lenses are constructed with metal and plastic barrels, featuring textured rubberised grip rings. Several lenses are fitted with protective plastic front or rear caps.
