Hello guys.
I was wondering if anybody heard of this lens and maybe tested it..
I have the chance to buy it cheap but the web gave no search results.
What do you think of IQ?
Thanks

Yes its a good lens. Its made by Kiron. It was also sold as a Kiron 28mm f2 and sold as a Vivitar with serial number starting with 22.
If its cheap I wouldnt hesitate. The Kiron and Vivitar bring $60 -$100 or so depending on luck and condition.
Here is one thread with samples.

I had two Kiron copies of this lens. One had a scratch on the front element, so I sent it back but it performed really good. The second copy was in a flawless condition, but the edges were awful on APS-C. And I've tried all my adapters. Your copy seems ok near the edges, a bit soft but not smeared to oblivion like the one I had.
