Description
The Vivitar Series 1 35-85mm f/2.8 VMC Auto Variable Focusing lens was intentionally designed not to use vari-focusing instead of being a conventional zoom in order to achieve higher optical quality. The upside was having one of the highest resolution lenses of its type. The downside was needing to refocus each time the focal length changed.[1]
