I worked in a camera store in the 70s and we sold a lot of Vivitar products including the lenses. They were owned by a company called Ponder and Best who made a lot of other photo accessories (I have a P&B tripod that’s built like a truck). Their Series 1 lenses were suppose to compete with the lenses made by the camera companies.
I watched this video some months ago and thought: cool, what a nice little lens. Today I watched this video again because I discovered this lens in my lens collection (the same Kiron built version, in pristine condition). I just had forgotten that I purchased it some years ago on ebay. The next day with reasonably good weather I will give it a try.
That’s some amazing colour grading too.
I have Vivitar 200mm and the colours through that lens are also insane! Thanks for sharing beautiful shots from Norway!
I was lucky enough to snag one of these last summer for $100 and I’ve been very happy with it. Easily one of my most used lenses.
you were lucky :)
how are these so expensive? I got one with misadjusted infinity focus for free 😳
Maybe I should sell it instead having it collect dust after I repaired it...
Great as always! 🖤🖤
Very beautiful lens!! Just Wow!
Just grabbed one. I don't have all the options on the wide side that I'd like, and that first flower image was enough to persuade me to get this. And it's great for storytelling purposes to be able to get in close and still show the context. Plus which I bought a Vivitar zoom decades ago with great bokeh like this wide open. Why do people spend like $1,700 dollars on a lens that's painfully sharp wide open and then spend another $700 on a diffusion filter so they can get the much-sought-after "film look"? It's crazy! Anyway, thanks. I'll bet I'm not the only person with several nice budget lenses in his collection that are there because of your excellent taste.
I've had this lens for about 3 years now. It's an excellent little performer. Very affordable too
I've been looking for a good copy for aaaaages... so glad to hear it's as handy as I figured it would be. Merci pour ça! I currently only have the Viv 35/1.9 which looks way more dreamy in the soft parts but isn't quite as multifunctional.
You can thank him for making eBay prices higher as well ;) jk, awesome video & lens
Nice review Mathieu. Those sheeps are very cute!!!
I really enjoy this type of video
I love that lens. I have two copies (one labeled Vivitar, one Kiron).
I have a Panagor 28mm F2.8, pretty close in terms of focal, and it's quite neutral across the aperture range, not the shapest but well good enough for my use, I love it ! I think it's a pretty good travel lens either.
It might be a bit tight as I use an APS-C camera
Looks like a good lens. Might have a look for one and see what I can get.
Very Nice video. Thanks.
I have an FD Vivitar 24mm f/2.8. I originally wrote it off as soft and put it in a drawer. Perhaps I should revisit it and see what I can get out of it.
Lucky to find one for $30 on the Bay. It was mislabeled as a 28mm. Of course the aperture blades were stuck open so a little cleaning goes a long way. It is pretty sharp wide open even but the corners are a dreamy soft. Still though not a bad find.
0:35 Mwuaaaaah the Vivitar... camera... has always been know for its excellence!
Amazing
I've bought mine at a thrift shop, with MD mount, for 6000HUF ( ~€17), I'm in love with the lens, it was a huuge bargain. It is way better, than the f2.8 variants.
Want to go there !!
Your channel is my guilty pleasure ☺️😜 Love your work! What do you use to color grade your footage?
Thanks for the nice video Mathieu;)
Love Norway, love the lens rendering;) Is it the lens gives warm tint? Or you add it during post production?
I wonder how many of these I have passed up at yard sales and thrift stores. Beautiful video as always, and such a surprising lens!
A lot i guess :) but it's not too late to find them
I recently received one with fd mount, convert it to nikon mount and happy with it. I need to test the beautiful flare, but no sun yet.
I was just reading article about this lens, and your video pops out... if that is not a sign to buy it then I don’t know what is))
Mathieu have you ever done a video on the weird ways to adapt a lens to a camera, not just you straight adapted ones but odd and interesting ways for special effects etc, you seem like you might know a few us newer to adapted lenses might not know
Nice! :)
Have a good week!
Thanks for the visit
Got same one with N/AI mount few days ago but the aperture stuck at F2 ☹️.
It's a good thing that the people who travel miles to appreciate beauty aren't the same people who vandalize and steal log books.
Very nice. 👍
thanks
Mathieu, I really like your soft colors that have a cinematic character to them. I bought a Vivitar 24 f2 as well, mine is a MC, RL edition (in blue), with serial # 28401402. Is this similar to yours and do you know what the "RL" means? Thanks, Ron in San Diego.
Great image!!!!! I want to ask you if with this lens or vintage generali lens,
you can use "peaking level / color" for a7iii ,at manual focus setting...???
Yes I use focus peaking all the time
I actually just got one for $80, but my aperture blades are stuck. I'm afraid to take it apart. Mine is the Kiron made one, since the serial begins with 22. And so is yours!
Mine is stuck too, and the helicoid was rough. I tried repairing it but it such a delicate lens that it ended up as paper weight lol. Quality of materials are cheap tho
Is this lens suitable for cameras with aps-c format?
If you had to choose between Canon New FD 24 2.8 or this one, which would you choose? And which one have more sharpness?
I don't know the Canon nFD but old Nikkor and Minolta MD 24/2.8 and both are sharper than the Vivitar 24/2.0
the Vivitar has very soft corners on full frame but with APSC its all good
Hello, I love your channel, I'm new to old lenses, in your opinion, which lens offers better quality, this 24mm vivitar or a 24mm canon fd? thanks
Canon FD all the way
Picked one up this summer for 40 euro. :-)
Try Pentax 200 f2.5
Gotta wonder how sober ol’ Orson was in that spot.
i proudly own many Vivitar lenses and i dont understand how people may not consider this brand insted buying chinese plastic lenses on Amazon
Hey, I've got a stupid question:
How can everything in the frame be that sharp when you have your camera on a fixed point and let it record?
ie when the sheeps come across the way from back to front. Are you turning the focus point continuously or what?
I really don't get it.
The lens shows every object sharp with every movement going from here to there. What is my problem?:)))
German living in Norway?
Anybody compare this to the Canon 24mm “Pancake” lens?
It looks like your copy was produced by (Kino) Kiron
I have two copies of this lens I think I got them for free
I have owned and used Vivitar 28mm, 35mm, 200mm, 35-85mm, 70-210mm, 90-230mm lenses and 2x tele-converters.
I have never owned or used the Vivitar 24mm f/2; however, I do own a Nikkor 24mm f/2 lens that I use in a 24/50/135mm lens kit.
Actually this lens always performs worst in comparison with other 24mm lenses of that time. But maybe the „dreamy“ look at f2-2.8 is sought for video 🤔
most of the time "dream lens" and "vivitar" don't go together
maybe this one lens is the exception
I got the Series 1 28-90 2.8-3.5 a long time ago and it was the first lens that really struck me with the smoothness of its bokeh. Often lenses that are known to give you that get four-figure prices, but these don't have that rep and go for two figures in the states. Usually one figure is 5 and the other is 0. They're a bit cumbersome but that's a lot of image quality for the money IMHO.
@@montazownianr1 Sorry to hear that. Bad copy, maybe. I got oil on the aperture blades of my old one and didn't use it for a very long time, but I got it out a while back and liked the bokeh and general look so much I bought another one. For me the main drawback is it's crazy big on a mirrorless camera. Oily aperture blades seem to be a common problem with these old Vivitars.
Hii..I have a Vivitar 28mm f2.8 auto wide angle serial starts 28xxxx. Whats difference with your lens ?
