Overview

The Vivitar 28mm f/2 (Kino) is a relatively rare late-1970s to early-1980s lens, likely made by Kino Precision (Kiron) for Vivitar. It is heavy at 288g with brass and glass construction, accepting 55mm filters. Optical quality is not specified in detail, but the fast f/2 aperture was uncommon for 28mm lenses. A fungus-infested copy showed potential for mood shots under right conditions, but internal cleaning is needed. It suits collectors or those seeking a fast wide-angle for creative, imperfect images.
