Alan it is a nice lens.It is the same as the Samyang/Rokinon, etc.It is a DSLR lens so it is a bit large on the nex but it does not bother me.It is very sharp in the center WO and sharpens up very nicely on the edges stopped down.It makes for a nice 19/20mm equivalent on a crop body.It is my go to lens for interior home shots.Very good color rendering as well.Hope this helps

Thanks Jim. Interesting discussion I stumbled upon here:

- that implies the Vivitar is not identical to the Samyang/Rokinon version: "I agree that the design of this lens and the samyang are similar and probably share a very very similar optical desing, however, the vivitar still has a different number of elements, and different lens coatings and a wider field of view than the others. I don't know if that is purely the result of a typo in the marketing department or if it truly has some slight adjustments to the optical design."
Great watch shot!
More FD 50/1. + LT sailing snaps, while I wasn't hanging on to an almost vertical wind-powered boat! Anyone else impressed with the edge sharpness of the 50/1.4 on the LT? I expected worse, and was prepared to trade it off against central sharpness and the FF "look", but I've been pleasantly surprised by this and my other FDs so far:
