Has anyone heard anything about the new Vivitar long zooms?
According to the latest Modern Photography, Vivitar has come out with the
third incarnation of the Series 1 70-210. This one is apparently a bit
lighter, faster (f2.8!), and focuses closer (goes down to 1:2.2!). They
won't have a review on it for a few months. Has anybody seen one, and
what do you think of it?
Also, Vivitar is advertising a 70-205 with "matched" doubler, giving a
70-410 "system" in a (comparatively) very small package. I don't know
anything about this one. Has anyone heard anything?
