Hi Steve... The Vivitar lens falls into the you-get-what-you-pay-for category. While the $130 price tag is intriguing, I wouldn't get this lens for anything more than a springboard to something better. It's a bit soft wide open and has noticeable light-falloff in the corners at the short end. The aperture ring is cheesy as hell, too.
It's in my bag because I'm experimenting with those focal lengths and I can't afford the FA 20-35/4 yet. <homer> ummmm, tasty pentax glass... </homer> t On 2/7/02 1:19 PM, Steven Gilson wrote: > I have seen some "new in box" Vivitar S1 19-35s on eBay.
