Hi,
If I understand correctly, this lens has an internal autofocus mechanism.
Does this mean that it will autofocus with any camera?
I'm thinking of getting it for my Sony NEX-5.
Thanks

I cannot give you an answer as I have never owned one of these. You might try PM'ing casualcollector or Russ to see if they have that info.

If it is made by Tamron, the answer is "yes". I have one of those lenses
which AFs on no-af-camera. You cannot expect fast AF thou.

Thank you Koji.
Are some Vivitar's made by Tamron and some by others?
Is it worth the 50$ that the seller is asking for it?

I had one of these. Pretty nice lens but very slow AF. Still, you can have
AF with non-AF cameras if speed isn't important (which it often isn't). |

I'm almost certain that this lens was manufactured by Cosina. |

It's a Cosina made lens. Nothing special optically. However, their Series 1 200mm f/3.5AF (Cosina & Komine made) lens is very good optically.
