Voigtlander Nokton 58mm F1.4 | | Latest Review Posted | Vivitar (Komine 28xxxxx) Close Focus 28mm F2.8
Picked up my little Vivitar 28mm a while ago as I was after a cheap manual focus 28mm to tinker with for Panoramas on digital. The ebay pic was fuzzy, I knew it was a Komine but was amazed to get a mint PKA for very little cash
According to the the Robin Parmar listing, my copy is:
A03 "Vivitar | 28MM 1:2.8 | MC | CLOSE FOCUS WIDE ANGLE | NO. 28xxxxxx | Ø49MM"
It's great. Really nice to use (just like a Pentax manual focus 'A') works well with my K10D and doesn't seem to have any metering issues. For panoramas and stitched images it works fine (I see no obvious vignetting f4 to f11) and it shows little distortion. It an ugly sort of fella though
Used as a straight 28mm on DSLR (so 42mm equiv) it is a little more limited for me as that isn't a focal length I find useful but it seems capable enough. Pixel peeping there is some CA (easy to fix) and it can be prone to flare outdoors so a hood is a must - being 49mm these are easy to come by, you might already have one
when the opportunity arises I will ad some pics here | |
