creampuff said that this is the 4th edition of the Vivitar S1 70-210mm and based on the serial no. it's made by cosina (58mm). (1st-kiron (67mm), 2nd-tokina (62mm), 3rd-komin) From the result I get, it's pretty much similar to that produced by Sigma 70-300mm f4-5.6, except it is f2.8-f4. It's no prime or macro lens, so can't compare sharpness. The 1:2.5 macro, 210mm (315mm) & f2.8 makes it a sweet deal at a small price. Only issue I have is no hood included in the standard package.
The shots are taken at f2.8-f4, dragonfly & fly are taken at f8
In adobe raw, auto exposure - 50% & the saturation by 28.
The cropped insert is 100% with no PP.
255,0.3,0 USM is applied on the resized image.
