Hi Steve,

Bernd,
The rear element doesn`t turn during focusing, only the front
group turns.

Hi Steve and all Vivitar users,
yes it's normal and due to the floating element. IIRC, the rear element is
the floating one. If you turn the focus ring, you can see that from a
specific point, the rear element is moving ( or was it the front element ?).

I just picked up a K-mount Vivitar Series 1 28/1.9 lens. It seems
to be in very nice condition, nicely finished in look and feel (a
typical early Series 1 lens, I would say), except for one possible
thing that concerns me:

Fred,
I don't have one, but have had the opportunity to try three samples, and
they've all exhibited similar behavior. I recall using one of Steve
Larson's Viv 1 lenses, although maybe not the 28/1.9, and noticed a
similar effect. I believe Steve said it was normal.

I just checked my 28/1.9K and confirmed what Shel reported: the change in
focusing effort is normal. I think Steve Larson called it a clutch. Perhaps
it is related to the floating elements, even though, as you point out, no
such two-stage effort is found in the floating-element 28/2K.

Normal. Both of mine do this, and others I`ve handled also do it.
Maybe it`s a two speed focusing mechanism?
