Hi,
So I recently bought a K20D with the kit lens, and am going to be purchasing a macro lens very soon.
I've concluded that I want a Kiron 105mm f2.8 (or one of its identical variations) based on very good reviews and affordability.
However! I hear that certain lenses are better made than others based on the manufacturer. I have been reading all over the place and can't seem to get this straight.
As far as the Vivitar Series 1 105mm f2.5 I read the ones with serial number beginning with 22 are good, the others not so great.
Could someone please clear this up for me--are all 3 versions of this lens identical? If not, which ones are the good ones and which aren't?? I see a few of these up on ebay and don't know what I should go for.
Thanks!
