This is handy when you need to shoot something that will run, hop or fly away, like many things will do with a lens poked in their face

In 1975 Vivitar introduced their Series 1 line of lenses, intended to compete with top brands. These Vivitar Series 1 lenses were built to very close tolerances and evidently each lens was checked and adjusted upon entering the country of importation.

The 70-210 is probably the best remembered from this series, and sought after by bargain hunters willing to overlook the lack of autofocus in return for reasonable quality optics and construction.

There are in fact five versions of the Vivitar Series I 70-210. The first Vivitar Series 1 70-210 f3.5 was introduced in 1975 and was succeeded by the Tokina version, also 70-210 f3.5. However the Tokina version does not focus as closely as the original Kino Precision built lens.

The third (Komine) version was introduced in '84, and has 14 elements in 10 groups. This lens has a variable f/2.8-f/4 aperture, and there is a limited Pentax-specific version which has the 'A' setting.

The later two versions are allegedly of poorer optical quality and are not sought after.

The Vivitar Series I 70-210 f/2.8 lens is heavy compared to today's digital lenses, but the actual build construction is built to last.

Vivitar

Vivitar was started in the 1930s and in the 60s commissioned experienced lens designers and top-line Japanese optical lens manufacturers such as Kino Precision to produce lens designs. This gained the company a reputation for good quality lenses at modest prices, and as their reputation grew, many lens manufacturer sought them out to carry their products under the Vivitar brand. In the 1970s, Vivitar introduced its now-famous Series 1 lenses. These computer-designed state-of-the-art lenses were well priced and often outperformed the optics of camera manufacturers of the day.

After the deaths of its original founders Vivitar went to a variety of owners and on August 21, 2008, subsequent to its filing for bankruptcy, the parent company Syntax-Brillian completed the sale of the Vivitar brand name and intellectual property to privately held consumer electronics maker Sakar International based in Edison, New Jersey. Vivitar has since put out some smaller digital cameras and a tablet, but is no longer a big name in the camera industry.
