    Overview

    The Meyer Optik Gorlitz Primagon 35mm f/4.5 V is a vintage wide-angle lens known for its single coating, which was standard by the 1950s. Optically, it delivers good results for outdoor photography, though specific strengths and weaknesses are not detailed in the excerpts. Build quality is typical of the era, with a matted black filter ring on later models; the front lens disassembles by unscrewing the filter ring. Handling is straightforward on M42, Exakta, or Altix mounts. It suits enthusiasts of classic East German lenses who appreciate its historical character and compact design.
