This has the same optical foruma as the 90mm f2.8 macro (indeed, it's the same lens; Vivitar sometimes released the same lens as f2.5 and f2.8), which is different than the Series 1 90mm f2.5 macro. The S1 was also made by Tokina, not Komine, and only went to 1:2 (with an optical adaptor for corrected 1:1 shooting). Still, I've seen many excellent results from this particular optic over the years (as your samples show) and there is no question it is an excellent lens.
