>>3500760>If you'd've gone for a prime you could have got something a bit more ergonomic and cheaper I would imagine.I originally tried a 135mm but found that too restrictive, and the zoom helps a lot with framing.
>I would have gone with something more sensible like a less sought after Minolta A mount lensI actually have the Vivitar 70-150mm on a Minolta MD, but you can see from
>>3500245 that it's pretty trash.
But for $10 it was a cheap way to experiment with telephoto. And now I've learned some of my better shots are at telephoto length I figure it's time to upgrade since the vivitar limited how much I could zoom into my shots before they started looking muddy
>>3499685I got a quote from Camera Clinic and they said it'd be around $150.
The local shop said he didn't do vintage lenses anymore, and KEH would be $300 plus.
So I'll probably give it some time and decide later if it's worth sending it in.
