    Overview

    The Vivitar Series 1 28-105mm f/2.8-3.8 MC AF is a fully manual zoom lens with a push-pull zoom mechanism and a large focus ring. Optical strengths include useful compression at 105mm and macro capability. Weaknesses include a thin aperture ring that can be confused with the locking ring. Build quality is solid, but it lacks electronics. It suits photographers comfortable with manual operation who want a versatile walk-around lens for mirrorless systems.
