I recently came across the Aug/Sept 1967 edition of Camera 35, which
includes a brief review and test of the Vivitar 135 f/1.5 T-mount on page
57. 
The following info may by useful: 
Reported resolution: 
                Center        Edges
     f/1.5        24             17
      /2.0        28            24
      /2.8        28            24
      /4.0        34            28
      /5.6        40            34
      /8.0        48            40
      /11.0       56            48
      /16.0       68            48  * Max Res
      /22.0       56            40
I don't know if the rated resolution is lines per mm, or inch, but it is
interesting that the lens apparently doesn't reach maximum resolution until
f/16 
Dimensions: 5" long, 4" wide, 4lb,8oz
(Vivitar ad in the same magazine says: 5.5" by 4", 4lb, 3 oz
7 elements, 6 groups, min focus 6 feet 
Lastly, the article claims the lens was originally made for NASA, and that
it lists for less than $600.00 
keep up the amazing work, hope this helps.
