My favourite lens ! I had my first Vivitar series 1 70-210mm in the early eighties, toke thousands of pictures, mainly portraits. The pump is was the ideal system for the zooming and focusing, having everything in one hand. Unfortunately my lens had a choc while in a sea rescue operation. Since then it was not that easy to manipulate. I am happy to get my hands on another lens on ebay. This is great !! This is my favorite lens ever! I own about 20 lenses on Canon AF and EOS systems.
THE GOOD: Very solid construction. All moving parts go smooth. Warm color rendering and okay contrast. It outperformed my earlier 200mm Meyer prime. THE BAD: Soft at any aperture. CA and flare prone. Zoom creep. Only 1:4 close focus, not really macro. THE UGLY: Huge size. Heavy weight. Could serve as a weapon and lead to being arrested.
