| comment: | Since I really liked the image quality of their 45mm and 65mm primes, I decided to try this lens. I found this one listed on eBay by an individual. "MADE IN JAPAN" It is a little wider than the Tamron 35mm F2.8 which was the widest 35mm I've had so far, but it is not that close to the Pentax 30mm F2.8. Optically it is very similar to the Samyang 35mm F1.8. overall a decent 35mm lens. |

| compared to: | 1.4/35 Sony Zeiss ZA 2/35mm Zeiss Loxia FE 2.8/35mm Sony FE 1.8/35 Sony FE 1.7/35mm Voigtlander Ultron VM 1.4/35mm Samyang UMC 1.4/35mm Nikon Ais 1.4/35mm Contax Zeiss a few other vintage 35mm lenses |
| price paid: | 619 euro (new) |
| positive: | Shaprness wide open in centre & middle of the frame. Few clicks on the aperture makes it very sharp even into the extreme corners. Colours have plenty contrast, like my loxia 2.8/21. Build of the lens is great, mix between Loxia & modern Voigtlander Great fit for A7iii body |
| negative: | In more difficult lighting conditions (backlit) the lens struggles a bit to keep colours neutral/pleasant, more so then my loxia & voigtlander lenses. Sunhood a bit big & feels a bit awkward when using manual focus Distortion should be 4,5 rating. Good for 35mm but it's noticeable (no lens profile for RAW yet) |
| comment: | Somehow this lens takes the best part of all lenses above mentioned. Sharpness & redering like the Voigtlander 1.7/35 wide open, contrast & build like the Zeiss ZA, AF & size of the Sony 1.8/35. That is a lot for a smallish lens. now sold; the 35GM has taken it's place in my bag. Still, for the money this lens almost equals the GM; par the f/1.4 speed. |
