Overview

The RE Auto-Topcor 35mm f/2.8 is a well-regarded vintage lens known for its optical quality. It delivers sharp images with low distortion, warm color rendition, and moderate contrast, with corners sharpening by f/4 and smooth bokeh. Its 7-element, 5-group design is praised for excellent correction. Build quality is professional, with a smooth, dampened focus ring, though the aperture ring is narrow and close to the camera body.
