I have one of these Vivitar lenses and it is the 28-210mm/f3.5-5.6 with Macro
1:4x.
I have found it a litte hard to focus but the pictures seem to come out well.
It is plastic and takes a 72mm lens filter thread
I have a fair assortment of zuiko's and will be going to Florida in a couple
of days. Do I take my zuiko 24/f2.8, 35-70/f3.6 and 100 and 200 or do I just
take this one lens?
I'm not sure.....
I also have a Vivitar 19mm. Seems that the Viv 19mm and 28-210 with OM4 and
OM2 and T20 would be a nice compact one small bag set up.
But - For pictures while moving on the road, bring fast film! I think the f5.6
is a little slow
Hope this helps
