    Overview

    The Variozenitar-K 25-45 mm f/2.8-3.5 MC is a Soviet-era wide-angle zoom for Pentax K mount. Optical performance is modest, with notable softness at the edges and some chromatic aberration. Build quality is typical of the period: all-metal construction but with a stiff zoom ring. It suits vintage lens enthusiasts or those seeking a unique, low-cost wide zoom for character, but not for critical sharpness.
