Overview

The Vivitar 35-105mm f/3.5 MC is a heavy, large lens (approx. 20-24 oz, 72mm filter) built by Tokina. Optically, it offers decent sharpness at the wide end but softens at 105mm, with severe chromatic aberration despite multicoating (zainordin md noor comment). Its close-focusing feature is useful, but overall image quality is not as good as expected. The lens suits vintage enthusiasts who prioritize range over portability, but a 35-70mm plus 100mm prime is lighter and sharper.
