Not too unlikely, this applies for the lens in question, but it is not
generally true ... the good old Vivitar "Series 1" lenses were a
pleasure to use, and very good quality. But admitedly, Vivitar also
produced a lot of less good lenses.

I have an old Vivitar Series 1 105mm f/2.5 macro, and I can say that is a very decent lens. Bitingly sharp when stopped down a bit.
