From the editor

For general information on this lens, please refer to the article dedicated to the Tomioka Kogaku Auto Tominon 55mm F/1.2 lens.

Another version of the Auto Revuenon 55mm F/1.2 lens existed: without the Tomioka name and with 58mm filter size - that was re-branded Vivitar Series 1 55mm F/1.2 VMC.
