have you checked that the diffuser is pushed fully home in its slot until you hear a click - this diffuser is for close-up work only and dissables the zoom flash

Not compatible.
Get slave triggers and use them as remote flashes, or buy another film camera.
It seems Vivitar no longer is in the flash business. Get a Sigma or Sunpak digital flash for your SX10

the string is a felt dust stopper if you take off the rubber zoom grip you will see black tape peel off the tape and the base of the zoom ring will slide off just remove the rest of the felt clean the barrels and put back it will be ok without the felt you can stick back the part of the zoom ring with tape

Yeah ! Your problem is very simple. u can solve it on your own.
If you dont put the tape the comparment closes well and as soon as you pot the tape the compartment does not close , Right ?
The solution is there within ur hands itself.
If you want the compartment to be closed, then simply dont put the tape inside. let it be outside itself. U see, its so easy !

The lens fits in vivitar, pentax,cosina cameras

Hi, You need to replace the switch block control whic has all you play and zoom functions. Or, you could use your remote control to do these functions instead.

Hi,
I am in the same position with broken battery covers. A local camera shop has been ordering replacements for me. They said the battery cover from Nikon fits the Vivitar but this can only be ordered from an authorized dealer. Try a local camera store.
Hope this helps
