I had the Vivitar 24/2.8 a couple of years ago. Not too bad at all and much better than a cheap zoom in that range, I expect. B & H sells it new for $75.00. I kind of wish I'd kept it now as there are times when the size of the FA*24/2.0 is inconvenient. -- Mark Roberts www.robertstech.com - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
