I bought this lens @ a pawn shop yesterday for $15 & I think I got what I paid for.  It looks in very good condition with very minor cleaning marks on the front element. However, even with post processing the images are just dull looking. All shot @ f4, see what you think.
1.
2. Focus was on the bench
3.
4.

Yes it is a dull overcast almost raining day - typical for this time of year here.

I mean dead looking, flat, little definition, like it was shot through a sheet of plastic. Here is #2 with no pp.

You must show us comparison with other lens in this weather (possibly such you find better) or shot this one also in nice orange sunset.

A rational approach for sure. I shot it again against two other 28mm lenses. Maybe it is not so bad after-all. All shot @ f4 with hoods on. No pp.
1. Kiron 28/2.8
2. Vivitar (Kiron) 28/2.5
3. Vivitar ( Bauer) 28/2.8
I was surprised the Viv 28/2.5 was poorer so I re-shot with that lens with the same result.

Splendid lineup Ron. I enjoy seeing realistic image where you have to try a bit to recognize the subtle differences.
Did you have WB on auto setting or Bauer is that more vivid?

Settings were the same for all three shots, WB = Cloudy.
I favour the Viv. Bauer followed by the Kiron with the Viv. Kiron in last place.
