Opinion Summary
Awful lens
by ap507b | Jun 13 '06
Pros: Cheap, light weight. Bokeh wasn't too bad, probably due to bad overall image quality though?
Cons: Awkward to use, poor image quality.

Here is a link to a photo taken with the Vivitar. There is also a link to a photo taken with the Tamron to demonstrate how bad the Vivitar is.

Now compare it to the Tamron:

The difference is quality & the poorness of the Vivitar should be obvious.
