Not too unlikely, this applies for the lens in question, but it is not
generally true ... the good old Vivitar "Series 1" lenses were a
pleasure to use, and very good quality. But admitedly, Vivitar also
produced a lot of less good lenses.

That's interesting...
I have a Vivitar Series 1 28-90 in K-mount, in good condition... I was vaguely wondering whether it would be worth offering to send here to PZ for testing, though I appreciate you've rather more up to date lenses to be attending to..! <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Sorry, PuxaVida, for the slight hijack...!
