70–210mm · f/2.8–4
The Vivitar Series 1 70-210mm f/2.8-4 Macro (ver.3 Komine) is a heavy, well-built lens with smooth push-pull zoom and focus, though handling is cumbersome on smaller cameras. Optically, it offers superior sharpness, especially stopped down, and smooth bokeh. Weaknesses include corner fall-off wide open and lens creep when pointed down. It suits photographers who value build quality and classic rendering and can manage the weight.
