It's not off-topic to ask about a lens that can be used on a Pentax body. List members do it all the time. I was surprised to discover that I've collected no comments on this lens. It has 12 elements in 9 groups; uses VMC multicoating; can close focus to 10.2 inches; reaches a max.

I found a couple comments about this lens: Warren Kato ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), on Olympus discussion site, 10 March 1999: The Vivitar 35-85/2.8 is an amazingly contrasty lens producing sharp looking photos. It's part of my BIG kit, Series 1 35-85, 135/2.3, 200/3 and Zuiko 300/4.5. All take 72

if it hasn't been modified it will still have a protrusion on the rear that will mark the panel above the reflex mirror when mounted on an LX. Otherwise its a great lens albeit big, lower contrast than comparable Pentax glass but very sharp with a usable close focus at the wide end. Say,

Unfortunately my LX has the marks to prove it :-( Yes, one of my LX's has a couple of cosmetic marks on the flat black paint of its mirror box baffle. After performing the minor mod to the lens, though, it is not a problem for that LX or any other. No Pentax lens has marked my bodies :-)
