I'll ditto that comment, Nick. I got mine some time ago. I went in for a Pentqx W/A. The old camera shop owner told me he didn't have one, but to try this Vivitar, and see what I think. He discounted it handsomely and said he'd take it back if I didn't like it. He'll NEVER get it back! <g> That is a great little lens! Not all that much for taking frontal shots of cathedrals, as the side towers look as tho' they're ready to fall inward! However, keep it reasonably level, and it's without fault! I too literally carry mine every time I pack my kit. . .
