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.
