In 1975 Vivitar introduced the "Series 1" line of manual lenses, similar to the Canon’s L-Lens line. They were intended to compete with the best offerings of the major camera manufacturers, albeit at a very high price -- they were quite expensive even by OEM standards. Nonetheless, discriminating photographers who could afford the price snapped them up and they are still much sought-after by photographers willing to give up auto focus in return for top quality optics, construction and versatility.
The most famous of the Series One lenses was the 70-210 macro zoom. One of the first zooms to offer any kind of macro capability, it offered outstanding optics in a highly versatile package. There were several versions produced over the years, and the one that offered here is the latest version. The lens is brand new, never been used.
The 70-210 Series 1 is a great lens for hiking and backpacking. It's light, fast and replaces several other lenses, not the least of which is a dedicated macro lens. The 1:2.5 ratio of the Vivitar is often good enough for flower and plant "macro" photography on trail.
The Vivitar Series1 is very sharp and it’s Bokeh is great.
The lens seems like never been used, in absolutely meticulous condition, with all original documentation and packaging, both caps and hood.
