Hey folks I just thought I would just post this image of a lens that has been through it all (thick and thin) with me since I received it as a gift on my 15th birthday, I wanted a zoom lens so badly when my pops handed down my Pentax ME.
It has been through thousands of shots, I have taken slide shows of our youth group at the church I used to go to, it has photographed several weddings (with awesome results) and most of those weddings were relations so I had to get it right lol.
I had to do some modifying/filing to get it to work on my K-x but compared to my kit 200mm Zoom it doesn't do as well, maybe it is showing its age or I am doing something wrong, either way I am going to keep playing with it just for fun.
I know it isn't the Series one Vivitar zoom but it actually held up very well after all these years, I am now 46 years old, I cannot believe I have had that lense for over thirty years now, I even still have a 50mm 1;1.4 that still works awesome on my new camera that has accompanied that zoom all these years. well with out further delay here it is~

Here is me back in the day with it in use, nobody knew what I actually looked like because that camera was always in my face.
