I had a Vivitar 24/2, then a Kiron 24/2, and now an SMC-A 24/2.8. The Vivitar was quite sharp, but had heavy flare problems. The Kiron had the same sharpness, with much better coatings and mechanics. The SMC-A beats all the above... Sylwester Pietrzyk wrote: > THis Vivitar is in fact Kino Optical/Kiron 24/2 Are you sure? :-) http://www.cameraquest.com/VivLensManuf.htm Peter J.
