I also have one and it is superb for close focus photography. I haven't tried it with landscapes or anything else though.
Great colours and very sharp, even wide open!

I have the same or very similar lens and although it does not state close focus the focus distance is the same - bizarre but a great lens
Worth what you are asking IMHO
If I didn't have one I would buy it

Is this lens still available? My apologies for not messaging you direct, I am too new to have earned such privileges

Optically and mechanically perfect BUT the filter ring has a dink as illustrated. You can get a filter on and off but it's a sweaty job.
It's 28mm f2.8 and goes to 1:5 close up.
As usual with Vivitar excellent sharpness and colour rendition.
Fully manual focus and no A setting.
FRont and rear caps no box.
The guy I bought it from created some excellent shots from it but I never got on with it.
£20 plus delivery of buyer's choice?
And the dink
