Overview

The Vivitar 35-70mm f/3.5 MC is a constant-aperture zoom with a push-pull design, weighing 16oz and taking 58mm filters. Optically, it delivers nice clear pictures at the 35mm end (Pavlo), though the reviewer notes a sticky aperture issue on their copy. Build is solid but the push-pull can be awkward on compact cameras (Pavlo). It suits users seeking an affordable vintage zoom for general use, but condition varies; careful inspection is advised.
