Hi all
Starting a thread on wide angle primes, so we can discuss on their virtues and weaknesses.
I'm talking about lenses 21-30mm range.
I just bought a Vivitar 28mm f/2.8 Macro lens from Cash Converters Toa Payoh. They had 2 units selling at $75 and I bought one of them. Took some test shots and will upload later. In the meantime, you can see some of other people' s photos here :

In the meantime, the lens condition is good and this is my first manual prime lens.
I had some problems using it at first but thanks to Feng wei who clarified on the characteristics of an "A" lens. I confirmed that the K100D (as well as istD series) version of the K10D "green" button is the end position of the on-off switch.
Anyone has any opinion of this lens of Sigma origin ? Does this lens use radioactive elements and does it turn yellow with age?
The box indicated it as made in 1990!
