P for Perkin-Elmer who manufactured this lens for Vivitar.

Does anybody here know how long this lens was in production and how many have been made?
The net says that production for Vivitar was only 3 month in 1975 because it was too expensive.

Perkin-Elmer sold the 600mm f/8[4] and 800mm f/11 Catadioptric lenses under their own name as well. These were identical to the OPCON-designed Vivitar Series 1 lenses that Perkin-Elmer manufactured.

Teleconverter




probably just the middle of the photo.

Kilfitt made this variable teleconverter where you turned a crank to change the enlargement. Mine is in a fixed Alpa mount, but according to the Kilfitt book by mr. Herve Pont, it also came with an interchangeable mount.

If i find out how to avoid getting quadratic snaps out of rectangular ones, I will post a picture of the device in its entire length.

Paul, I see the full picture of the device when I click on the thumbnail. Also true of your Alpa SLR picture.

V for Vivitar auto thyristor 283 flash

I got this complete set some time ago. Everything is in perfect condition and fully working. But I rarely take the time to set up a fancy flash shooting. With my Gossen Lunasix F I even have a light meter capable to meter flash.

But I think getting good shots with multi flash on film takes a lot of experience.

Update:
Measured the sync voltage today: Vivtar 283 #2022755 and #2022776:
They load up to 230V on the hot shoe, definitely not safe for digital cameras. Later versions are know to have lower trigger voltage.

That probably explains the fancy case. Nice find.

No, I got this set in a cardboard box and plastic bags for the small items.

I put everything into that case to find single items quick.

X for Kodak INSTAMATIC X-90 and X-flash cubes

The X-90 is a rangefinder with automatic exposure and spring powered automatic film wind. It is solid built and heavy . Unfortuantely it uses batteries in unusual size which are no longer available.
