Hi
No it is really a 24 f2.0 yes 2.0 , I found that it
may have been made by Kiron and that it quiet rare ,
It is taking 55mm filter size but I saw on Ebay
Vivitar 24mm F2.0 with 52mm filter size, Now this is
getting a bit complicated as I can't find info on the
diffrent between this two. Any one know?
