According to the latest Modern Photography, Vivitar has come out with the third incarnation of the Series 1 70-210. This one is apparently a bit lighter, faster (f2.8!), and focuses closer (goes down to 1:2.2!). They won't have a review on it for a few months. Has anybody seen one, and what do you think of it? Also, Vivitar is advertising a 70-205 with "matched" doubler, giving a 70-410 "system" in a (comparatively) very small package. I don't know anything about this one. Has anyone heard anything?
