<<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:
