    19–35mm · f/3.5–4.5

    Overview

    The Vivitar Series 1 19-35mm f/3.5-4.5 MC is an affordable ultra-wide zoom for full-frame film or digital cameras, but not recommended for crop sensors. Optically, it suffers from chromatic aberration and vignetting, but is adequate for film and fun to use. Build is largely plastic with a loose feel, though lightweight and portable. It suits budget-conscious photographers seeking an ultra-wide perspective for full-frame systems, especially film shooters.
