    Overview

    The Petri C.C. Auto 55mm f/1.8 is a vintage M42 lens offering good sharpness at f/1.8 and excellent micro-contrast, with natural bokeh and a 3D feel. Build is sturdy but not exceptional, with a short focus throw and a close focus of only 0.6m, which is a limitation. The aperture ring has no click stops, allowing stepless adjustment. It suits portrait and creative photography on a budget, especially on APS-C bodies where the crop factor aids reach.
