I know only the 28 f2.5 but this one is gorgeous! Sharp even wide open and very nice close up performance!

unfortunately i only have the yashica ml, but i love it. it is sharp wide open, great contrast and color. the reason i bought it is because there are several old threads on this forum where orio compared this lens to the distagon 28mm. only the ml can be had for less than $100 (i got mine for less than $60 about 3 months ago). _________________ Epson RD1 + Elmarit 21/2.8; Summarit 50/1.5; Summarit 75/2.5; Elmar-c 90/4; Sankyo Komura 135/2.8, Hektor 135/4.5; Braun Paxina 29 6x6; Photax Boyer Paris; Holga 120 Pano

The only 28mm lens I have that has an edge on my Yashica 28mm ML is the Distagon. The Distagon cost ten times the price of the YML. I don't have any Vivitar lenses so I can't offer a comparison, but the ML is so good that I'm not looking anywhere else. _________________ Alex |

The Vivitar 24/2.8 is a useful lens but needs to be stopped down a bit before it gets sharp. I'm talking about the Tokina variant here (37xxxxxx serial). _________________ Graham - Moderator

Ah, you've gone for a different lens so it may differ. I guess really most 24mm work will be at infinity where you'll probably be stopping down anyway _________________ Graham - Moderator
