A couple of weeks ago I picked up a Vivitar Series 1 70-210/2.8-4 in mint
condition for a mere R350 (about $30). I tried it out during the dismal

for 1:1 macros.
I never owned one, but that lens has an long standing excellent reputation.

Hi Dave
:) Voigt 125? Like it a lot too.

The only point that counts against it, ergonomics. The narrow silver
focus ring is too far back imho, so for me, the balance of the camera is
thrown off. The Series 1 has a big

Some nice compositions and color. Most would benefit from more DOF in
my opinion. Are you shooting from a tripod?

to bring in tripods and move the flowers around. Still, I might try a
monopod next time.
