lenses shows two 75-205 zooms from Vivitar one released in 77 and one in 86.
I think there may be a mistake on the date for the two touch since it was
concurrent with the original series 1 70-210, (and reported as such in
Modern Photography at the time). The other possibility is that Vivitar released
at least one and possibly two other lenses in the 75-205 range that are not
listed on Monaghan's page. (In that case I have no idea which lens you actually
have and you can disregard everything I written in the last two posts).

Oh, never mind...this lens was made way back in 1968. I wouldn't expect anyone has much of anything on Vivitar from back then.
