Genericized titles to be model-agnostic, so we're not going to duplicate this for every mode of vivitar lens/Minolta body that could be asked; edited in info from "answer" that is likely to be deleted. :)

Made title mode-agnostic to genericize so we aren't duplicating this Q&A for *every* possible model of Vivitar lens X to camera body Y.

| Apr 18, 2019 at 18:19 | comment | added | Michael C | Tony, can you post more details about your lens? All of the writing around the front and on the lens barrel? There are way too many possible different Vivitar 70-210mm zoom lenses that have been made over time for us to guess. We also need to know what kind of camera mount it fits without an adapter. | |
| Apr 18, 2019 at 15:08 | comment | added | rackandboneman | At least this camera model CAN be made to release with a purely mechanical adapter. Whether a manual focus only lens will be fun to use with an AF-oriented film SLR is another matter.... Also, a 70-210 a mount lens probably can be had secondhand for the price of an adapter, unless your Vivitar is M42.... | |
| Apr 18, 2019 at 11:24 | comment | added | rackandboneman | Which lens mount does your copy of the 70/210 (of which there exist at least 6 versions which EACH come in a handful of different lens mounts) have? | |
