I have found the Nikon HN-3 hood will work with the Vivitar 24 with no apparent vignetting. (also works well with the K30/2.8 and FA28-70/4 too)
I had the 19/3.8 for about 6 years, ended up giving it to a friend who promptly lost it hiking. He misses it, I don't. If you really want wide, cheap, get the Zenitar 16/2.8. That's a killer lens.
If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Good idea, anyone have an opinion on the Vivitar 24 2.8 or the 19 3.8?
