Owner reviews: Vivitar 20 mm f/ 3.8 Kino

ProfHankD 04.01.2016 17:42:15
Period of use: 60 months

Strengths:

Seems to be better than average IQ for an old ultrawide. Well made with buttery smooth focus. Looks really impressive on a camera.


Weaknesses:

I have two copies of this and neither one has a working aperture: both are stuck wide open (i.e., yup, it's manufactured by Kiron). Huge front to this heavy lens.


Comments:

$200 average price? Both mine were much cheaper.
