M&A,

I need to off load some lenses and this one is up first:

Vivitar Series 1 70-210mm f/3.5 with Macro down to around 1:2, which is really good (especially for a zoom with that range).

This is the Kiron made version (Serial no. starts with 22). There are five versions of this lens and this is the only one worth getting - and trust me, it's worth it).
Only selling because I've got the Canon 70-200mm f/4 now and don't really use it much anymore.

Glass is in great condition. No scratches or anything. In the pictures there seem to be some 'spots' in the coating, but that's just dust.
Comes with the hard-leather pouch (pictures), front filter (metal screw in) and back-cap (choice of Olympus or Canon).

This is a lens with constant f/3.5 aperture, so that's nice.

Lens is in Olympus OM mount and can be adapted to Canon/Nikon and Micro Four-Thirds. I can throw in a Canon adapter for 5€/7$.

Price is 50€/70$US/75$CAD
I'll eat half the shipping costs. After I pay half the shipping it'll be 4,50€ for most European countries or 13$US/CAD for North-America.








If you're interested, shoot me a PM.

For those that don't know, vivitar series 1 is essentially the "L" line of vivitar lenses. Lately vivitar is known for making shitty fisheyes that are sold in kits on amazon, but back in the day (aka when they made these), these were serious lenses (and still are). Just wanted to make sure people don't miss out on a great deal out of misguided brand stigma.

I've got an offer for 65$ right now, but would like to get 75$ for it. Any chance you could come up with the money or is there no way telling?
