Actually all three are quite good, however the reputation of the three from high to low is 62mm, 67mm, then F2.8-4. As a result the 62mm usually commands the higher price. I have a 67mm one in my screwmount collection and it is quite good. Kent Gittings

It seems to be very under-rated too from what I've read on Bob Monahagn's website (http://people.smu.edu/rmonagha/third/cult.html#steve). I suppose that is because of the variable aperture perhaps. In any event, there is a good discussion of the Vivitar Series 1's lens and this web site gives a nice history of them.....Anyone know where I SR1 200/3.0? :) John ----- Original Message ----- From: "Fred" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, December 07, 2001 2:36 PM Subject: Re: Self enabled > > While browsing one of our local camera shops today I came across the > > Vivitar Series 1 70-210/3.5 that's been on their website for several > > months.
