Manufacturer description
Outstanding for portraits or candids, this marvel of sophistication and speed is as compact as many normal SLR lenses. With its built-in hood, the 100 mm f2 falls nothing short of excellence. Close-up sports and theatrical photography are perfectly suited for this lens.

Notes
- Independent-brand lenses were made for 35mm film SLR cameras by companies that competed with the camera manufacturers. Some came from factories that made lenses under their own brand names (Angenieux, Kiron, Sigma, Tamron, Tokina). Many others were national and international marketing organizations (Kalimar, Panagor, Rokunar, Soligor, Starblitz) that bought lenses from anonymous manufacturers. One firm — Vivitar — actually designed its own lenses and accessories, which were then subcontracted to manufacturing firms. Still others were private labels, sold only by specific photo specialty shops (Cambron, Quantaray, Spiratone).
