(Oops, only the first is 900px  Resized...)
Someone on pentaxforums wanted to see some pics of this lens, which he has never heard of. I know a couple have it, but I mostly see the Auto version. I'm going to bet Carsten has one 
So yes, a Preset does exist  My dad bought it in 1977 for $45 (still have the receipt). 62mm filter thread, just like the Auto.
Minimum focus distance (top scale is meters):

It looks it's a T mount lens (interchangeable mount).

Not rare, nor valuable, but unusual.
Vivitar for a while in the very early 1970's, after it introduced a line of automatic lenses (Tokinas), seems to have kept a cheap line of T2-mount preset lenses. Those cheap lenses are not easy to find now, I guess they sold few of them. Soligor did the same thing. These must be some of the last preset lenses sold.
I have seen a 200mm, 300mm and a 400mm in this Vivitar line of late presets. This is the first 28mm I've seen, thank you !

What is interesting is that it reaches infinity after 7 meters , pretty much for a wide angle lens I would say. My Petri 28mm f:2 reaches it after 3m and Chinon 28mm f:2.8 after 5meters.

I've edited the title to something more appropriate, I think 
Someday I'll ask my dad why he bought this and the 80-205 f/3.8 when his ST801 was auto aperture. Most likely cause they were cheap
