Someone here may be able to help you, but tell us first exactly which Vivitar lens you need fixed. They sold numerous lenses, both fixed and zoom.

Ody,

Sorry, I doubt your problem will find an answer here. Like the famous Parrot, it is most likely a terminal demise. Suggest you send it to the local repair shop or if fairly new, back to the supplier/service agent.

Ckm2006,

I think you should look at the Macro mode setting, assuming the lens is a macro zoom.

When in the macro mode, the lens cannot focus to infinity.

I have a Pentax screw mount Vivitar series 1 lens.

I'd like to know if anyone knows if it's possible to convert this to a Pentax K mount.
