Vivitar Series 1 24-70mm f/3.8-4.8 Lens
It's no secret that I enjoy using classic (vintage) lenses on modern mirrorless digital cameras. It's a fantastic way to test an older lens and "see" things differently. Many of the older film camera lenses were designed to produce a specific look, given the era in which they were made. Lenses from the 1950s have a different look to the images made compared to a more modern lens made in the 1980s.
This Vivitar lens was released in 1988 and was made by the Japanese lens maker Cosina from a design by Vivitar. I've attached the lens to my Fujifilm X-T2, which has a crop factor of 1.5. At 70mm, the lens has an equivalent focal length of 105mm.
It looks like it was made for the X-T2.
