Stopped down, it's sharper than my very trusty Nikkor 35mm f/2.
Colors are good. Mechanically, the Vivitar feels like a tank.
Downsides are:
- It's much bigger than expected for a 35mm f/2 (almost) lens, it's quite heavy. It's thinner but longer than the Nikkor.
- Bokeh is not the best, still ok, not "exploding" like the 28mm f/1,9 or the Komine 28mm f/2 but not as smooth as the Nikkor. Can be pleasing thought depending on pictures.
- It becomes quite well known for it's sharpness and prices are rising.
Mine was a very good value for about 80 € in m42 mount. Body has some wear but optics are pristine. | |
