Latest Review Posted | Vivitar MC Macro Focusing Zoom 28-70mm F3.4 or F3.5-4.8 Definitely good value, but the macro mode is nothing to write home about and can be fiddly sometimes. Design is nice and build quality is as well. Nice and cheap with a good crop sensor focal range.
The zoom is incredibly stiff and is my main complaint with this lens, when you zoom it and out it is jittery and inconsistent in movement when a nice lens would be buttery and constant.
Color rendition is average but nothing of SMC Pentax quality for sure but it is still multicoated so that helps. Sharpness is average, it is what I would expect from an average zoom at this price. And aberrations like this were to be expected.
It's a shame this lens is so mediocre because it is annoyingly my lens in the best condition at the moment until I buy some new shiny primes in a week or two.
Good value for a mediocre zoom I just wouldn't go above $30 :asleep: |
