    65mm · f/3.5

    Overview

    The Mir-3B 65mm f/3.5 is a compact, all-metal lens with smooth focusing. Optically, it delivers good center sharpness but suffers from significant field curvature and soft corners, especially wide open. Chromatic aberration is well-controlled, but contrast can be low in backlit situations. The lens has a unique, swirly bokeh that some may find appealing. It suits photographers interested in vintage character and willing to work around its optical quirks, but it is not recommended for critical landscape or architectural work.
