Wondering if anyone here would have had any experience with the Kiron 85-210mm f3.8. I really can't find any info on it. Is it worthwhile to get in m42 mount for a canon 40D? It's vivitar branded by the way.
Sharpness, bokeh, color, ect. ect. |

Very fine and very common lens, certainly worth getting.
But don't pay too much, there are so many always available you are sure to find a good deal anytime. They were also sold under many, many names.

It's decent. Nothing special, not a dog. Check out the Kiron 70-210 f/4 with zoom-lock. It ROCKS!
