It depends on the Viv lens.  Vivitar, over the last thirty years or so, has 
made a number of fine lenses, along with some not-so-fine ones.  Their premium 
line is the Series One line, and, if the lens you're thinking of getting is a 
Series One lens and is also immaculate (glass, I mean, NOT the exterior of the 
lens barrel), then 40 UKP is a really good price.  On the other hand, if it's 
not a Series One and has some "issues" with the glass, the coatings, the 
mechanics, etc., you might regret the expenditure.
