The '''Vivitar Series 1 70-210mm f/2.8-4 VMC Macro Focusing Zoom''' lens was marketed by [[Vivitar]] in the late 1980s and early 1990s. This was the fourth version of the Series 1 70-210mm zoom design (some consider it the fourth and fifth versions - see note below on the Q-dos variant). 

==Variants==
* [[Q-dos 3-Dimensional Lens System]] version. This lens is identical to usual model but with badging and support for Q-dos, a [[stereo|stereo anaglyph]] system developed by Vivitar. The lens included a switch that would optionally insert a half cyan, half red filter internally. The resulting image exhibited a limited 3D effect that could be viewed through conventional red/cyan 3D glasses.
* A gold-plated brass version of the lens was manufactured in a limited run for the [[Vivitar Series 1 50th Anniversary Lens Set]] which was given to Vivitar officials and dealers.
