RE: Vivitar Series I, 19-35.
Jeff, I've been eyeing this same lens for about 6 months now at least :) I've heard it's very good for the money (the manual focus version being better than the autofocus version apparently). HUGE filter size though (I think it's 77 or 72) but other than that.. very little vignetting from what I understand.

If one ignores dilapidated walls behind, the rest can easily pass of as something in an advanced lab as shown in movies :) It's a cool building - the steam lift is 3 stories tall and the building is entirely poured concrete - even the roof. The windows are quartz. A few years ago the owners would let you just wander around the lift, but now its part of a structured tourist walk-through. This shot does show that the lens is pretty rectalinear and while flare can be a problem, it did not suffer from the backlighting of the windows. - MCC - - - - - - - - - - Mark Cassino Kalamazoo, MI [EMAIL PROTECTED] - - - - - - - - - - Photos: http://www.markcassino.com - - - - - - - - - - - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

RE: Vivitar Series I, 19-35.
Based on what I've seen online - Ebay - it usually goes for around $135.00 USD - but I'm not sure how much you could get it for if you hunted some used stores in the area (Toronto) Cheers, Dave -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Jeff Sent: Saturday, April 27, 2002 1:14 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Vivitar Series I, 19-35. - Original Message - From: David Chang-Sang [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, April 27, 2002 12:34 PM Subject: RE: Vivitar Series I, 19-35.

Re: Vivitar Series I, 19-35.
I believe Henrys has one for $300 CDN. That seems steep. I'll check around.
