Description
The Auto Vivitar 135mm f/2.8 Chrome Nose is a lens distributed by Ponder and Best (Vivitar) in the 1960s. Modern collectors refer to the Vivitar lens family which this lens is a part of as the "Chrome Nose" family because of the distinctive chrome band around the front edge of the lens. There is also a bright silver band located near the base of the lens. A later family of lenses based on the same mechanical configuration dropped the chrome nose to make room for a built-in lens hood but retained the lower bright silver band, thus becoming known as the bright band family. Both families are believed to have been manufactured by Kino Precision.[1] According to a Ponder and Best advertisement, the lens retailed for just under $100 USD in 1967.[2]
