Vivitar Series One macro
hi,
My step father gave me his old Canon A1 with a vivitar Series 1 70-210. It seems that the zoom has macro capabilities, but unfortunately I am not able to use it. I would appreciate any hints about this function. You can understand that I dont want to spend $15 just for that matter. Thank you Cedi |

Thank you Cedi Cedi It sounds like you have the first edition, with the macro collar on it. Is that so? If so, you have to pull the zoom collar back to the 210mm setting, then depress the little white button on the collar and turn it counter-clockwise. This will engage the macro setting. If you have anymore questions, please ask. |
