It works perfectly every professional film camera ( F, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6), and adds Matrix metering on the F6. The meters of cheaper digital ( D80 and below) and cheaper film cameras ( N80 and below) will not work with this lens, so you'll be on your own guessing exposure using the rear LCD or an external meter.

On the D3, D300, D200, D2 and F6, use the "Non-CPU Lens Data" menu option to get full matrix metering, EXIF data, and finder read-out of set aperture. Get at least an AI version as shown here, which is identified by its two sets of duplicate numbers along the aperture ring. Avoid these, since newer ones cost no more used. The earliest ones were not AI, and won't do much of anything with most cameras. The 70-210mm Series 1 was made throughout quite a few years in several versions.
They work OK on DX digital, but there are much better choices. These are best used on manual-focus film cameras or FX digital cameras, like the Nikon D3. It offers very high performance, and today sells used for next to nothing. (I was still trying to shoot sports with my fixed Nikkors.) The version seen here has always been the classic of these 70-210mm Series 1 to me, since its what my smart friends had back when I was a photo editor at a New York newspaper back in 1980-1984. Apocryphal data suggests this version was made by Kino Precision (Kiron) in December, 1978. Like many Vivitar lenses, it was made for Vivitar by fourth parties, and its design varied over the years. The Vivitar 70-210mm Series 1 is the classic of classics of third-party lenses. Usefulness: Excellent, if you need a manual-focus tele. Adorama might have them used.īest for: High optical quality in a very inexpensive FX or film manual focus tele zoom.Įase-of-use: Fair: focus ring turns backwards and macro mode requires a gear shift. It helps me keep adding to this site when you get yours from those links, too. I personally buy from Ritz, Adorama and Amazon.
