I've never owned any of the Series 1 zooms, but I own a Series 1 90mm/2.5 macro
lens and I've been quite pleased with the results. The only reason I'm
thinking of selling it is that my wife graciously gave me the opportunity to
buy the Zuiko 90mm/2.0 macro (which opportunity I jumped at).
The Series 1 lenses are, in my limited-experience opinion, the class act of
third-party lenses. Wish Vivitar would make more (especially more manual focus
ones).
