Hi! I happen to have Soligor 70-222/3.5 C/D lens. I've bought it second hand for $140. It means that in USA it would cost probably half as much. This is excellent lens, though it is on the heavy side.
If you wish you can look in my home page for its review and some shots. AFAIK Soligor C/D series is very close to Vivitar Series 1. My recommendation holds of course if you decide to go for zoom lens which is almost always less preferable than prime road. --- Boris Liberman www.geocities.com/dunno57 www.photosig.com/viewuser.php?id=38625
