Looking to buy a Vivitar lens? Over the years I've purchased equipment from a lot of different vendors. Only two mail-order outfits, Cameraworld and B&H Photo have proven reliable, never letting me down on any order. I can heartily recommend either (though B&H is probably a better choice if you're not in the US; Cameraworld only sells official US Nikon equipment). If you click on the link and purchase something, bythom.com receives a small commission. You're under no obligation to purchase from them, but if you do, it'll help pay for this Web site. |
