I was convinced by Robert Stech's website and bought a Vivitar 70-210
Series 1 version 2 (the one Manufactured by Tokina) I saw this as an
affordable way to get a fast good quality zoom. I'm quite happy with
it, just a question, is there any way to "activate" the macro
capability? The other "macro" zoom that I have (cheapo sigma 70-300)
has a switch to use the macro mode, but in the Vivitar didn't find
anything like it.
I think only version 1 has a switch for macro mode. I know the third
version doesn't and it doesn't look as if there's one on version 2.

I have the version 2. It does not have a macro switch, it simply focusses
close enough to have a 1:4 magnification ratio. Which yields 1:1 when
printed at 4x6", so you _could_ call it macro...
