Hi all.

I've recently picked up a Vivitar 28-85/2.8-3.8 vari-focus lens for my OM's for a great price. It seems to be an okay lens and seems quite fast, although I can't be sure of how good it is wide open. It had a small problem with the pin that holds the lens to the camera being stuck in a bit but some careful work with a jewellers screwdriver fixed that.

So, can anyone tell me anything about this lens?

Its a Vivitar 28-85MM MC, 1:2.8-3.8, AUTO VARIABLE FOCUS, serial no 22122799.

Its metal and in excellent condition, not even any dust.

How does it compare to my Tamron 28-70, 44A, two touch 3.5-4.5, apart from the obvious differences with variable focus, two touch and aperture.

Cheers

Si
