Microcontrast in comparison with the Kironov one, at the long end is weaker, it is much worse adapted to the macro than the 1st version, but better than Jupiter. Wonderfully detaches the object from the background even at considerable distances. At the long end, at the open end, it is soft and chromatite, at 150mm everything is fine, at 70mm - a razor. The disadvantages of Vivitar, I would attribute the lack of aperture half-stops, you have to set “4” without clicking, since the distance between “3,5” and “5,6” is enough, but you need to make sure that the ring does not “slide out”. Vivitar has its own advantages, his picture, in my opinion, is more suitable for a woman's portrait, the colors are more pastel, the contrast is slightly less. The bokeh of the U-37 is a little tougher. on the open J37 (I have the MC version) a little sharper, a little richer and more contrasting. I really like single-ring lenses.Ĭompared, although this is not a correct comparison of the Zannar fix and 3x zoom. The lens has one large rubberized ring, which is designed to change the focal length of the lens and to focus. Vivitar 70-210mm F / 3.5 has a pump-action design (to zoom you need to pull or push the zoom ring), and this is a single-ring lens. Of course, the Vivitar 70-210mm F / 3.5 is 'made in Japan', the assembly of the lens at the highest level is a large kilogram piece of metal and glass. With a film camera, the lens gives accurate confirmation when focusing successfully, with a green dot in JVI. I used Vivitar 70-210mm F / 3.5 with my camera without any problems Nikon D700 and film Nikon AF N8008s.

#VIVITAR 70 210 MACRO VERSION 3 HOW TO#
How to use such old lenses without autofocus is described in the section on AI-S. My Vivitar 70-210mm f / 3.5 has a Nikon F mount and has an N / AI lettering on the lens barrel, which most likely means 'Non-AI', but in fact, my copy is AI-compatible. The Vivitar 70-210mm f / 3.5 in my review is indeed a very good lens. The “Series 1” is considered by the Vivitar to be a top class lens series.
