Interesting to see the Vivitar series I name show up again. In the late seventies or early eighties I bought a Vivitar series I 28-90 vari-focal (as opposed to zoom) lens for my Canon A1 FD mount camera. In those days Vivitar series I lenses were reckoned to be top drawer but the marque seemed to fade away and I presume the original company disappeared with the name bought up by the Korean company behind this lens. My lens was sharp, very well made, heavy and a bit slow to use due to having to manually refocus after every change of focal length. In the end I hardly ever used it.
