Are you sure it's a F/3.0 lens? I believe that all of these were f2.5
lenses. I had a Series 1 F/2.5 Macro for many years and it produces
superior images. Hopefully it comes with the 1:1 matched converter.

Seeking information from anyone that might be familiar with an older Vivitar
Series I 90mm F3.0 macro lens. A local shop has one in their used case,
it's a nice lens optically, just a tad challenged cosmetically (the photos
taken never seem to mind this last point). I've heard the 90/2.5 spoken
quite highly of, have not heard mention (maybe I wasn't listening) made of
this lens. It's definitely an older lens, from appearances I'd have to
guess it's manufacture dates back to the early '70s.
Thanks for any info anyone can provide.
As an aside, this shop also had a mint looking T-10 system complete. Out of
my league at $389 (I'm sure they'd negotiate if anyone's interested).
