The '''Vivitar TX 28mm f/2.8 Auto Wide-Angle''' was made by [[Tokina]] and marketed by [[Vivitar]]. This is a second-generation TX lens, replacing the earlier 28mm f/2.5. The Vivitar Guide, by John C. Wolf, describes it this way:
<blockquote>''More of a mid-range wide-angle than the [24mm f/2.8], the 28mm has the same speed and compactness but is used for more normal-perspective situations: interiors and inclusive outdoor shots.''<REF>The Vivitar Guide, TX 28mm f/2.8, page 44, John C. Wolf</REF>
</blockquote>
