<< 
 Has anyone compared these two lenses ? If so any comments?
 
 In line with my last post -- if someone will give em to me I'll do a few
 comparisons :)

I have both right here.  Both are solid lenses.  
The Zuiko is a beautiful lens.  The Vivitar is larger.
It is a very nice lens and VERY solid like the Series 1 lenses of the time (I 
have the 135mm f2.3 and the 200mm f3 that I have used a bunch to compliment 
my Zuikos).
If you like solid, tank-like lenses and want to spend $100, the Vivitar is 
very nice. 
As Gary's test show and others praise, the Zuiko 28/f2 is one of the sharpest 
lenses in the system. 
I have to vote for the Zuiko ofcourse.
