Good Points: Excellent value for the money. Great Portrait lens. Great all around lens.
Bad Points: I bought my 28-90 mm 2.8-3.5 series one macro used because they are no longer being made. It was dinged up and dented from being dropped and had obviously been used heavily by a professional before me. Despite this, the glass is in perfect condition and it still performs flawlessly.
General comments: This is my workhorse. I've been using it for years. I use it on a Yashica FX-3 body and it has never let me down. To see photos that were taken using this lens, Go to www.RobValineimages.com and type Vivitar 28-90mm in the search box. Most of my photos are keyworded with the lenses and films that were used to take them.
