Latest Review Posted	Vivitar Auto-aperture MC close-focusing 24mm F2.8 As mentioned in the review above, this lens needs to be stopped down to about F5.6 before there is a decent level of sharpness. Once stopped down to here it performs as well as the Pentax SMC lenses however those considerably out perform it wider open. Also the 'softness' that is inherent in the lens is a bit ugly and doesnt have a natural look. So id advice against buying this lens for shooting in low light and for 2/3 senors as DOF has to be compromised condierably for sharpness. Probably on a full frame cameras and stopped down to F5.6 it is a good performer. However for the price i paid and for general useage its not bad at all...
