i hope it is OK to put a 'Video' here but it IS about 'Manual Focus Lenses'
I compared two VIVITAR series 1 70-201mm zooms with test prints taken with them .

You can tell who produced Vivitars by the two front digits on the ser. number.
To judge the quality of optics is not correct from the postcard format of prints.
The lenses are not perfect, rather very good for sure, have a few.

I guess you had the hood on for the macro shots as the minolta flash sync issue is clouded by the looking at the top of the image, it seems to have dark corners.

I have a S1 70-210 SN 22960721 Kiron acquired in 1979 new.
