<<Dear list, 
I know vivitar series 1 lenses generally have a good
reputation. Could any listmember give me their thoughts - comments on the 
following lens. Vivitar series 1 35-85 f2.8. Condition advertised as mint-
Price approx £60 ($90). Price seems good, but how does image quality compare 
with Zuiko optics? Is it 1or 2 touch zoom? Is it bulky? Any advice from 
listmembers gratefully received.
Regards,
                                                      John Duggan.  Wales.

I have this lens and like it a lot. I find it to be sharp and contrasty from 
wide to tele.  It is a bit big and uses 72mm filters. See the following for 
tests from Gary Reese. I like it better than the test results would allow:
