Do you realy think the Vivitar is equaly in optical quality to the
Zuiko? The Vivitar is a very old design with extreme specs (2.8), so I
doubt it can stand against an very good new design like the Zuiko.
Of course this is an speculation, because I hadn´t the chance to test
this lenses, but maybe somebody did and can tell us more?.
