Hi,

Recently I saw a Vivitar Series 1 19-35mm with OM mount for sale at a shop 
around here. It is new, and after visiting the Vivitar website I found that it 
is still being produced. 

Does anybody want to share their experiences with this lens? I was able to try 
it on a camera and was surprised by the low distortion even at 19mm. It feels 
much plastic-like, and in fact the barrels seems to be made entirely of 
plastic. Are the Series 1 lenses not regarded as top-line products? 
Photographyreview.com has some good reviews on the AF version of that lens.

What would a good price be for this lens? 

thanks in advance, best regards

Bernd Möller
