So I gave the eBay dealer who sold me the Vivitar 28MM f2 with the non functioning diaphragm with oily blades a "Neutral" rating. His description did say "IT IS CLEAR AND SEEMS TO WORK."
Now the ***bleepity bleep%%% dip stick retaliates and gives me a neutral rating. Here are some full size images from the lens. (large - 1.5 megs) http://members.shaw.ca/hargravep/Image5.htm It is a bit funky at f2 but useable for some things. Cleans up pretty well by f2.8. Not a great lens but will do as a fastish short normal until- ?? I am watching for news and images of the Sigma 30mm f1.4 Powell
