I´m not sure what I bought...

I bought this "Wideangle lens by Vivitar 55 mm" for 25 euros.

Max aperture is f/2. I don´t know any 55mm f/2 Vivitar lens, so I hope that it´s either 28 or 24 mm, and the seller has read 55mm from the filter.

Does anybody recignize it from the photo?



Of course I could ask the seller, but that´s not fun. Smile

Kiron made Vivitar 28/2

You certainly made a good bargain here.

If you sell it properly identified you can make a nice profit.

Thanks for the comments.

A 28/2 is exactly what I was looking after. Smile

But if I remember right, somebody has said, that Komine-made 28 mm is better than Kiron-made. Is there a big difference?

I have the Kiron made Vivitar 28 F2 & I'm more than satisfied with it. You will be too unless it has issues (oily aperture). In 24mm F2, I have the Komine made version...Lenses from both are pretty much comparable IMHO...

If the lens is OK, that's a great bargain! Congrats!
