I thought I mentioned that they weren't the best in the group of series
ones. They are however a match for the
finish, after all who in their right mind would actually use them to
take pictures.

lenses to go with them.
Yeah, except that, on its 50th anniversary, Vivitar was not exactly still
selling many (if any) "truly" Series 1 lenses anymore. The 70-210, for
example, is the 4th-generation version of the VS1 70-210's, and is not
really up to the original VS1 standards. (To be honest, I am not familiar
with the other lens, however.) So, the gold plating is not a case of
"gilding the lily", but is of "gilding the dandelion" - <g>.
