Interesting. He mentions the Vivitar Series 1, 90/2.5 and says it’s heavier. It is indeed because it’s all metal and built like a tank. He also fails to mention that the Vivitar came with an optical converter that makes it 1:1. I was heartbroken because I thought workers had stolen my pristine copy, but I’m happy to report that I found hiding at the rear of a shelf just the other day.
