The 28mm f/2 versions are identical in appearance, except the lettering.
Chuck's Kiron takes very similar pictures to my Vivitar. Good in the
center, distorted edges, fuzzy at f/2. I think for practical purposes it's
the same lens. I don't remember if anyone had the 24mm version, you could
search the list archives.
