I would also be interested in some various opinions on these 4 lenses,
as I've been considering buying one of them for some time now. Smile
Photo has the Samyang 18-28, and Tristate Camera has one listed under
vivitar 17-28. The same lens maybe? Anyone had any experience with Smile
or Tristate? Seems I've heard that dealing with Smile can wipe the smile
off most anyone's face.
If the vivitar and phoenix 19-35 are the same lens, would the vivitar
still be worth the extra $10 for resale purposes?
