Alan,
I have owned two different types of Vivitar 17mm f3.5 lens. My first
was one with a tulip type filter ring and a 72mm filter. The second was
a normal 67mm round filter ring. Of the two, I believe that the 67mm
lens was the newer version, but that may have just been because it is in
near mint condition. I think that the one Gary tested was the 72mm one
that I first had. The price, like everything, floats with the market.
I sold the 72mm version which had a quite a bit of cosmetic wear on it
(glass pristine) for about $217 one week. The next week I purchased the
67mm version (all pristine) for $100. Normal "should" be around $100 to
$125 I would think.
