Photon Offline Buy and Sell: On p.1 #1 · FS: $169 Vivitar AF macro for Canon EF, LNIB FURTHER PRICE REDUCTION Vivitar 100 mm 1:3.5 MC autofocus macro for Canon EF, with Matched Macro Adaptor (1:1). Like-new condition. I'll include a 49 mm filter. *Photos of lens added* *Price lowered* This lens yields excellent resolution and contrast in macro shooting at typical working apertures. I frankly have not used it wide open, but could do some test shots for comparison. AF is accurate, although slow. It's a unit focusing lens, not internal AF. The front extends considerably when focusing very close. I use it exclusively in manual focus when shooting macro. Direct focusing is only to 1:2 (half life size). The macro adaptor is a multi-element lens that attaches to the filter threads and extends range to 1:1 (life size). Focusing with the adaptor slightly overlaps the range without it (i.e., you attach it when you want to work in the range between 1:2 and 1:1). Photos below. Price $169 including shipping to CONUS, and I'll cover PayPal fees. I am the original owner of this lens, which has led a pampered life.

Photon Offline Buy and Sell: On p.1 #4 · FS: $169 Vivitar AF macro for Canon EF, LNIB I will do some quick shots of the lens itself later this evening. Oct 05, 2009 at 10:29 PM

Photon Offline Buy and Sell: On p.1 #5 · FS: $169 Vivitar AF macro for Canon EF, LNIB Here's the lens, with and without the 1:1 adaptor. You can see every speck of dust. There are no scratches other than scuff lines on the lens hood (the sort made by fingernails). The glass is pristine. Oct 06, 2009 at 02:13 AM

Paul Pasco Offline Buy and Sell: On p.1 #11 · FS: $169 Vivitar AF macro for Canon EF, LNIB I have this lens branded Phoenix, for nikon mount. I had a Sigma 150 macro and decided that the ratio of use to expense didn't compute, so I sold the Sigma here and kept the "plastic fantastic". The IQ in the macro range is just as good as the Sigma for my uses. Oct 08, 2009 at 01:17 PM

The IQ in the macro range is just as good as the Sigma for my uses. Paul, thanks for your input. I think the IQ is excellent, and I would have kept mine too, except that I wanted something that could double as a portrait lens, and the IS of the new Canon 100 appealed to me. For anyone looking for good macro quality on a budget, I think this Vivitar is tought to beat. Oct 09, 2009 at 04:54 AM

achman Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #14 · FS: $169 Vivitar AF macro for Canon EF, LNIB Does the adapter slow the lens down a stop? Oct 12, 2009 at 12:33 AM

It's a multi-element diopter ("close up lens") that is designed specifically for this lens, so it maintains quality with minimal aberrations. Oct 12, 2009 at 01:53 AM

TVRguy Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #16 · FS: $169 Vivitar AF macro for Canon EF, LNIB I have this identical lens and it is more than functional... got some great shots from it. Good luck selling. Oct 17, 2009 at 03:23 AM

hsw21 Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #17 · FS: $169 Vivitar AF macro for Canon EF, LNIB Im not familiar with this lens. Would this lens works with both film and digital ? Thanks Oct 22, 2009 at 09:07 PM

Thanks Yes, absolutely. I used it with 35 mm film before going digital. The resolution stands up well even with fine grained b&w film. Oct 23, 2009 at 04:15 AM
