I'm sure these were the same lenses as sold by Vivitar in the late 70's,
early 80's. The Vivitar 28 2.0 I have has "macro" capabilities similar to
Kiron. The Vivitar 70-150 also was sold with a Matched Multiplier ( a 2x
Teleconverter matched for the 70-150 optics). Kiron made both lenses for
Vivitar.

Do you have Kirons?
I just bought two mint- lenses: a 28mm f/2 and a 70-150mm f/4 macro-zoom.
I've tried without success to get some Kiron history and reviews on these
lenses. Your comments on these two pieces or on Kiron products are most
welcome.
