    Overview

    The Jhagee Anast. Exaktar 54 mm f/3.5 is a pre-war lens with a coated variant, noted for buttery smooth focus and iris with 14 blades, solid brass build, and good sharpness from f/4 onward with good contrast. Weaknesses include slight haze and minor coating defects that do not affect photos. It suits collectors and users who appreciate vintage handling, though the narrow focus ring may be fiddly for regular use.
