My brother - Alan - in Wichita - often finds the weird and wonderful of older
cameras and systems. He sells on eBay for a local store and for himself. A lot
of what he finds - goes to the Pacific Rim or Japan.
No - he is NOT a Leica enthusiast - however Wichita has folks from the world
there or ex-USAF types who bought gear in foreign lands.
I do not know what Leica R mount or Vivitar goodies that he has found.
He deals in Pentax and Canon - 25 years ago he had about 5 Minolta TLR's - now
all gone.
You can e-mail him at;

Hi Mike,
I have a T4 mount Vivitar 4.5/75-260 for Canon FD sitting next to my
keyboard, from what I've seen so far, a pretty good zoom despite its age.
Finding other mounts (except, strangely enough, for Minolta) is almost
impossible - I've looked almost everywhere on the web.
Apparently the T4 and TX mounts were an attempt by Soligor and Vivitar
that was later overshadowed by Tamron's Adaptall system.
Also recently took possession of a Vivitar 4.5/400, it came with an
almost mint Canon A1 I bought very cheaply, which was followed very
rapidly by another A1 recently CLAed with replaced light seals and
mirror buffer in absolutely mint condition.
Maybe Doug Herr knows something about the quality (or lack of it) of the
400.
Cheers
Douglas
