The '''Vivitar 35mm f/2.8 Auto Wide-Angle''' lens was marketed by [[Vivitar|Ponder and Best (later Vivitar)]] in the 1970s. Based on what's known about [[Vivitar serial numbers]] of this era, it's likely the lens was made by [[Tokina]]. Dating is speculative, based on the assumption the lens falls into the gap between the [[Vivitar#Vivitar_Dark_Band_Family|Kino-made Dark Band family]] 35mm f/2.8 ca 1969 and the appearance of the [[Vivitar#Vivitar_Wolf_Family|Wolf family]] 35mm f/2.8 in 1980. There are similar Tokina-made Vivitars with ridged metal focus rings instead of rubber, but with otherwise similar specs and filter sizes that likely preceded this series.<ref>[http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/sold-items/156282-sale-sold-vivitar-auto-wide-angle-35mm-1-2-8-tokina.html Pentax forums: Vivitar Auto Wide-angle 35mm f/2.8 (tokina)]</ref>
