Description
The Vivitar 28-70mm f/3.5-4.8 MC Auto Focus Zoom was one of two auto focus zoom lenses marketed by Vivitar to retrofit conventional, non-autofocus cameras. The lenses were available in a variety of fixed camera mounts. The autofocus system was powered by batteries in the lens and had supported autofocus modes: one for stationary subjects and one for continuous tracking of moving subjects. The lenses used a Honeywell Corporation TCL detector (an early phase detection sensor) to determine focus. [1]
Popular Science reviewed Vivitar's two auto focus lenses in the July 1988 issue and this to say:
I found that focusing is faster with these lenses than with a conventional manual-focus zoom. The resulting photos were satisfactory for snapshots but might not satisfy a demanding professional.[2]
