With all of the discussion on the Vivitar Zoom, I thought I'd put in my
two cents worth.  I auditioned the Series 1 Vivtar 70-210 Zoom this summer
when I was flush and ready to buy new lenses.  With the lens stopped down
and focused at 210mm, I found the edge-to-edge sharpness to be somewhat
lacking.  However, the field was sharp at the low end of the range.

As a result of the testing, I bought a fixed 200mm Olympus lens which I
have been very happy with.
