Yeah, I recognized the Vivitar for what it is. I have a Vivitar 28/f2 which
takes pretty good images, so I'm not too concerned about the quality issue
with that lens. It allows me ultra wide shots which previously I was only
capable of 28mm. The Zuikos were really my temptations though. This gives me
all the 50s that the company made and the macro is a nice addition to my
other macro lenses. The gentleman that sold this batch also sold (last
week), a gigantic batch of Leica equipment ($9,990.00), so I figure I'm
getting off cheap. :~) He has assured me that the equipment would be graded
at mint or mint-, virtually all new. We'll have to wait and see though, as
usual. He also is going to call me tomorrow to go over each item on the
phone, which at least shows he is a good salesperson. That is reassuring.
Regards,
Dick
