I ain't Moose. I'm not even Squirrel. But, nevertheless, I do
have a 19-35/3.5~4.5 Phoenix, which, to the best of my knowledge,
information and belief, is the same lens as the Vivitar. It's
plastic, cheap ($139.95 from B&H), and is amazingly good. I have
lots of wide angle primes -- 18/3.5 Tamron, 21/2 Zuiko, 24/2.5
Tamron, 28/2.8 Carl Zeiss Jena, 35/2 Zuiko -- but the Phoenix gets
more than a fair amount of use as part of my ultra-light, four-
lens walk-about kit.
One possible drawback for some might be that it requires 77mm
filters. That's not been a problem for me because I have other
lenses that take 82mm filters, so a $5 step-up ring fixes that.
Bottom line, this is a lens that offers a lot of bang for the buck.
