A slew of Vivitar purchases by Simon is the inspiration for a Vivitar special show where we give something of a potted history of the once great American lens brand. Whilst Vivitar has always been at the value end of the lens market, many of their lenses punched well beyond their weight. We discuss our collective experiences (well Johnny and Simon do...) of Vivitar lenses and pick our favourites and bargain buys.
