p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · How do we like the Vivitar Series 1 70-210 3.5? | |
I sold off my Nikkor glass a while ago. I held on to my 55/3.5 Micro Nikkor for the longest and after a year without it I'm regretting letting it go. I used it quite a bit with Olympus PENs and now my E-M5 and I know how great of a lens it is. The two lenses I wanted to replace were me 55 Micro Nikkor and my Nikkor Q 200 F/4. I love the build, I'm familiar with both, and I wand the Macro and the 200mm back. I've never used anything outside of Nikkor manual focus glass.
Browsing around the web I see that the 1st version Vivitar Series 1 70-210 f3.5 can be had pretty cheap. It will do 1:2.2 which is pretty darned close to the 1:2 of my Micro Nikkor. Gives me the flexibility of a zoom. Give me my 200mm. All of this in a single lens that's pretty cost effective. I'd love to hear some feedback from owners of the Vivitar, or better yet someone who has had the Nikkors and the Vivitar. You think I would be happy with the quality of the 70-210 Series 1 V1 over the two Nikkor lenses?
