I had a Vivitar 24/2.8 once. It was about 10 years ago and I didn't have a Pentax 24 for comparison so I can't really tell you how it rates on that basis. Compounding the problem is the fact there may have been several suppliers who made 24mm lenses for Vivitar (that was certainly the case for most of their other lenses). That said, my impression was that an inexpensive prime almost always beats the pants off an inexpensive zoom.!The Vivitar 24 cost me about $79.00 new and was so much better than the 28-200 zoom I had at the time that it started me down the path of prime lenses in general and eventually Pentax primes in particular :) -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
