    35mm · f/2.4

    Overview

    The Carl Zeiss Jena DDR Flektogon MC 35/2.4 is a well-regarded vintage wide-angle lens known for its sharpness, especially at close focus, and pleasant bokeh. Optically, it shows strong vignetting wide open and softness in the center and midframe at f/2.4–f/2.8, improving by f/4.0. It is highly flare-resistant. Build quality is solid with smooth focus, but internal plastic parts may be fragile. It suits photographers wanting a compact, characterful lens for close-up and general use, though corner sharpness is limited until f/8–f/11.
