Vivitar 35mm F/3.5 Wide-Angle M42-mount Lens

This Vivitar 35mm f/3.5 is a compact, wide-angle prime lens made for M42 screw mount cameras such as the Pentax Spotmatic, Fujica ST series, or Praktica bodies—and it adapts easily to modern mirrorless systems via inexpensive adapters. Known for its lightweight build and respectable optical performance, this lens delivers that classic vintage rendering with decent sharpness and pleasant color tones, especially when stopped down. It has a manual aperture—standard for this version—which gives full user control over depth of field and exposure.

Perfect for experimenting with manual focus on a mirrorless camera or pairing with a vintage film body for an all-mechanical experience.

Condition: AS-IS

This lens is being sold as-is. Optically, there is light internal haze and some dust—nothing unusual for a lens of this age, but worth noting. The aperture is manual, as expected for this lens design. Focus ring moves smoothly. Overall, this is a solid shelf piece or user lens for those who enjoy the quirks and charm of vintage optics, but it has not been cleaned or serviced.
