My mother bought a trio of TX Vivitars (Konica mt.)at Dillard's in '77
or '78. . . a 28/2.5, 35/2.5 and a 90-230/4.5. They're weird; the wides
don't have a flared nose like the fixed mount versions and the 90-230
has "close focus". I can get the nose about 7-8 inches from the
subject.
What sets them apart is the multicoating, a deep teal very much like the
"Minolta glow". They're good lenses. . . the 28 is really, really good,
but it's big and ugly. I'd put it on my OM's if I could find a mount.
Were the TX mounts intended to be switched by their owners? I think
I've screwed up the coupling once or twice tinkering with them.
