Hi,
I bought the vivitar 28mm Wide Anlge F2.0, FD mount to use with an adapter on my Samsung cameras.
Does any one knows if this lens is radioactive? There is a kind of yellow reflection on the front glass Or maybe I'm seeing things ...
Thank you
the lens is this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Canon-FD-mount-Vivitar-28mm-F2-Camera-Lens-for-Canon-FD/253052221397?hash=item3aeb1677d5:g:K3sAAOSwmoBZbpgS
Your lens is not listed at: https://camerapedia.fandom.com/wiki/Radioactive_lenses
[A very good starting-point regarding Radioactive Lenses].
For your convenience, I searched the site and copied all the radioactive Vivitar lenses
1. Vivitar Series 1 28mm f1.9
2. Tokina Wide-Auto (also applies to early Vivitar/Soligor auto wide: knurled metal focus ring) 35mm f/2.8 (serial 708205)
3. Vivitar Close Focusing Auto Zoom 75-205mm f/3.8 (early Kiron made version, two-ring zoom, serial 22616531)
The Canon 28mm F2.0 S.S.C. version is here:

All the best,

Thanks TuVuTu
This video scared me a lot. I was about to buy this lens (seen on this video above)... after I purchase the vivitar one, and then I start thinking... then, I start being afraid like these hypochondriac covidiots we see often, nowadays

I wonder is it possible to know how a certain lens was manufactured? Or at least have a clue, from the year it was manufactured?
I was wondering, my lens says MC, but this ones, the vivitar series 1, say VMC. Which one is older? Are the old ones radioctive? From what era? I can't find the date it was manufactured

Right now I hided my lens on the basement LOL I'm not scared of a common flu virus, used to impose a new world order/dictatorship, but I'm sure scared of radiation, and radioactive things, I saw the movie SK-19: The Widowmaker
By the way, I'm on a quest. That is, to find a wide lens, with manual focus, wide aperture, cheap, and compact... I'm looking for a vintage non radioactive, 30mm/28mm/35mm, f1.4.. I cannot find any. I'm looking for a kind of samyang 35mm, but the samyang is huge, and expensive... I want a wide lens, that allow me to be close to the subject, with the best bokeh... Any suggestion?
Thanks my friend
