I have a Nikon camera F-60 with Vivitar 28-300 Series one zoom lens and BOWER UV coated filter since 12/1999. " They" always give the SHARP pictures for us ( myself and my community ). I'm the main photographer for my Vietnamese community. And my people has been satisfied with the photographs from my Nikon F-60 + Vivitar lense 28-300 and BOWER UV COATED FILTER.
About two months ago. My camera fell down from the chair on to the floor and the lens broken. I had to order the second one from Amazon.com . And I also bought another BOWER UV coated filter for my second Vivitar 28-300 lens.And " they " still provide us a lot of SHARP Photographs.

Try it : Nikon F-60 + Vivitar 28-300 Series One Zoom lens + BOWER UV Coated Filter.

1.0 out of 5 stars Vivitar 28-300 lens for Nikon AF, September 17, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Vivitar 28-300mm Series One Zoom Lens for Nikon-AF Camera (Electronics)

We own this lens for several years using it on Nikon F70. I was very disappointed with the over-all quality (esp. sharpness) of the lens. Tamron 28-200 lens is supposed to be also on the "lower" end of the quality scale - I tried it once and WHAT A HUGE DIFFERENCE compared to the 28-300. In other word: even the much critized Tamron 28-200 is better. Very likely a 28-300 even with reasonable compromise would unreasonably stretch the budget and perhaps the OEM of Vivitar (Vivitar does not have his lens factory) did the best they could for that money. I am curious, how good or bad is the 28-300 offering from Tamron. The Vivitar Series 1 IMHO does not deserve the "Series 1" name. I am affraid, in order to cover a long range with better quality one would still need 2 or even 3 lens.
