Vivitar Series 1 70-210mm 1:2.8-4.0 VMC Macro Focusing Zoom (with original case)

The Vivitar Series 1 70–210 mm f/2.8–4.0 VMC is one of the most famous zoom lenses of the classic analog era. Considered a milestone in lens history, it was manufactured by several renowned Japanese companies (including Kiron and Komine) on behalf of Vivitar. Its exceptional optical and mechanical quality made it a genuine alternative to the original lenses of major brands.

With its focal length range of 70 to 210 mm, this lens covers a versatile telephoto zoom range – ideal for portraits, nature and sports photography, but also for detailed close-ups. Thanks to the integrated macro function (magnification ratio 1:2.5), even small subjects can be impressively captured, making this lens a true all-rounder.

The f/2.8–4.0 aperture ensures excellent results even in low light. The multi-coated lenses (VMC – Vivitar Multi Coating) minimize reflections and enhance contrast and color saturation. The lens delivers a warm, detailed image with a characteristic vintage look – especially popular with analog photographers and also usable on digital cameras via an adapter.

Mechanically, the Vivitar Series 1 impresses with its solid metal construction, precise focusing, and smooth zoom movement. Depth of field can be controlled with pinpoint accuracy, and the manual operation provides a truly "classic" photographic feel.

This lens is in very good, well-maintained condition. The lenses are clear, the coatings are strong, the focus ring operates smoothly, and the aperture functions perfectly. The original Vivitar case is included and provides excellent protection for the lens during transport or in a collection.

Overall, the Vivitar Series 1 70–210 mm f/2.8–4.0 VMC is a piece of photographic history – a lens that impresses with its performance, workmanship and cult status.
