Vivitar Series 1 - 200mm f3

Price paid 2019 --> 20 euros

The lens (not my photo, random pick on internet)




What a nice built lens, the design, the construction is just beautiful !

This is an heavy lens, the only drawback I found is the purple fringing, luckily you can remove most of it in post-production.

Let's try it on Sony A7, jpg straight from camera


---------------------------------------------------
Sample 1 - f3 wide open



Sample 1 - 100% center


Well for me it is sharp



---------------------------------------------------
Sample 2 - f3 wide open





Sample 2 - 100% center



See the purple fringing ? ok It is normal wide open, but I notice some at f8


---------------------------------------------------
Sample 3 - f5.6



Sample 3 - 100% center



Nice & Sharp



---------------------------------------------------
Sample 4 - f5.6



Sample 4 - 100% center



---------------------------------------------------

Sample 5 - f8



Sample 5 - Left, Center, Right






---------------------------------------------------
Sample 6 - f8


Sample 6 - 100% center



---------------------------------------------------
XTRAs Shots - all f8

Conclusion

20 euros ! whew what a bargain, this lens is very sharp, the bokeh is just awesome, I love it !

Hope you enjoyed ;-)
