I have the Vivitar Series 1 fast 135/2.3 lens, well made in all metal, with
auto aperture and OM mount. Uses 72mm filters, I've only taken a couple
frames with it (in normal conditions) and they look OK. Much larger and
heavier than the Zuiko 135/2.8 and I suspect not as sharp wide open either.
Very similar in shape to the Vivitar Series 1 200/3.0 lens, a strong taper
from the filter ring to the mount end, almost a cone shape.
