Description
Our lazy couch cat Putty, photo was taken with a manual focus 90mm F2,5 Vivitar series 1 lens from the mid of the seventies at full lens opening.
This lengandary lens is nicknamed the Bokina, lens is designed by Vivitar, made by Tokina, and has a wonderfull smooth bokeh, therefor the name Bokina. (bokeh + Tokina)
Vivitar lens serial numbers beginning with 37 are made by Tokina, and are among the best !

Bought it at a Flea Market in 2012 for 5 euro, and the the optical enlarger for this lens for 2,5 euro, a steal !
Reason why it has been sitting in the box is its weight, with adapter just over 1 kilo.
