Vivitar Series 1 compared to the new zooms
Hi to all, I need help to sort out whether the vivitar lens I have is worth keeping or should I get rid of it and buy a newer larger zoom. The camera I have is the Mz 6. I have a Vivitar Series one 70/210 f3.5 62 mm filter thread, I think it is the tokina made lens. Does this lens even come close to the abilities of the pentax and consumer grade 70-300, 80-320 and 100-300 zooms. I have looked at data that talks about lines per inch etc. Then there is statements which say it's just not sharpness but things like contrast I guess this equates into colour and shadow detail. So in your opinion is this lens something that I should keep. Thanks for your time, Peter.

Hi Lawrence, I think you are right in suggesting that I would be giving up allot by not going with the 360 FGZ. I guess there are only so many corners to cut. So it is time to be patient and save a bit longer and get the proper flash.

Are there any real alternatives. But if you want to take advantage of MZ-6's (ZX-L in US) advanced flash feature, you really have no alternatives. All the other flash and 3rd party ones can do the traditional TTL flash. On the other hand, if you want P-TTL, High speed sync and wireless flash, AF360FGZ is your only choice. Depending on your application, it may be worth the extra expense. -- --Lawrence Kwan--SMS Info Service/Ringtone Convertor--PGP:finger/www-- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.vex.net/~lawrence/ -Key ID:0x6D23F3C4--

This is good news thanks Peter. - Original Message - From: Steve Desjardins [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 27, 2003 1:26 PM Subject: Re: An introduction and the 360 FGZ flash Welcome. And feel free to ramble at will. I think the FGZ 360 will work just fine, although they might come out with a more powerful version. I suspect, however that Pentax might continue this trend of putting the nifty flash features in the flash and not the body. I'm sure their will be other opinions on this, however.
