Nice one can your link pictures taken with lenses what did you list here in Equipments Gallery ? They are not so common and I think our members will be informed better if you able to do it.

This one looks almost exactly like the Vivitar TX variant except for the absence of the macro range on the zoom ring.. or am I missing something?

I'm quite disappointed at the sharpness. Maybe I'm expecting too much from an old zoom.

Some of that is my lax technique no doubt. There seems to be a performance sweet spot. Here is more, all wide open at f=180mm.
