Hello all,
After taking a little gander at what the local "King of Trade" had to offer,
i found i need a little advice. They've got an OM mount Vivitar Series 1
70-210mm f/3.5 for C$99 (US$65). Looks to be in good condition, though i
didn't look REALLY close - but no fungus or scratches and the aperture ring
moves nicely & focus is smooth.
Anyway, my question is this: keeping in mind that i'm POOR (i.e. i can't
buy Zuiko primes), should i hang on to the Olympus Zuiko (Cosina) 70-210
f/4.5-5.6 that i already have (which seems to have a pretty bad reputation),
or should i replace it with this Vivitar Series 1 (which i gather has a good
reputation). I'll have to REALLY justify it to the wife, so i need a clear
cut decision! Help me out here!
Sean D.
