I linked to this article in the vintage thread, but thought I should make a top-level post to catch more attention. Because this Vivitar lens is quite exceptional. Over many years I've used this Vivitar 135mm on Pentax APS-C, Micro Four Thirds, and now Lumix S cameras. Check out the blog article, which contains links back to several other reports. Here are some additional images.
The fairground was shot near infinity. This demonstrates the resolving power at f/8.
From memory, these leaves were shot at 1:4 magnification. The bokeh this lens produces is beyond reproach.
Both images have obviously been processed form the Lumix S5 Raw file. Any noise present I added in post, since I prefer some texture.
The lens with this camera are an amazing combination, though rather heavy for my liking.
