Collector Notes:

This lens is part of Vivitar’s late AF lineup, often rebadged from Kobori designs. Known for its wide zoom range and macro capability, it’s a solid performer when stopped down. The haze is typical of age and doesn’t preclude use, but should be disclosed for transparency. A good fit for collectors, experimenters, or budget shooters building out an A-mount kit.
