Item for Sale
Vivitar 13mm F2.8 Wide Angle Lens

Asking Price
265.00 USD

Item Location
Raleigh, North Carolina (United States)

Item Description
Used, in excellent condition.

Includes the original box and soft lens pouch as shown in the pictures, original front cap and generic Pentax rear cap.

I believe this is optically the same as the Samyang/Bower/Rokinon 14mm F/2.8 lenses.

APS-C and Full Frame compatible.

I bought it used from a forum member here and it has since been used for astrophotography purpose only, which this lens does an EXCELLENT job at. Only reason for selling is my lifestyle changes won't allow me to do astrophotography as often as I'd like, and I need the funding for an upgrade to my kit lens.

I'm still researching, but some lenses that I quite like are the Sigma 17-50 and 17-70, Tamron 17-50 and 28-75, DA 50.
I'm working with a max budget of ~$100 + what this lens sells for

OK - thanks, I have a few primes I was thinking of selling/trading out of my kit, but nothing on your list...

bump still available.

czhao1009 · 01-23-2017, 07:33 AM

Bump, open to offers.
Also would consider trade for DA 70.

Does this lens have the same moustache distortion that the Samyangs are claimed to have?

I don't know what the moustache distortion is, if you can tell me how to check it, I'd be happy to test and post the result.
Thanks!

Good question. I'm not really sure either. I've heard it many times when talking about the 14 2.8 from Samyang or the like. I'm not sure I'd be able to see it myself (visually impaired), but I'm trying to avoid problems I'm unable to correct or notice myself.
