55mm · f/2.2
The Fujinon 55mm f/2.2 is a vintage M42-mount lens known for its unique bokeh and pleasant rendering, making it a 'bokeh monster'. Optically, it flatters portraits and everyday scenes. However, build quality is poor: the bakelite casing is brittle and prone to cracking, and the focusing helicoid can seize. It suits budget-conscious film photographers who enjoy manual control and are willing to accept fragility for distinctive image character.
