    Overview

    The Palinar Telephoto 100mm f/4 is a compact M42-mount lens praised for exceptional sharpness, even surpassing a Canon 100mm macro USM and a 70-200L, with virtually no chromatic aberration. It performs well at both macro and normal distances. Build is simple and small, akin to a 120 film spool. However, information is scarce, and it is not rare or valuable. It suits photographers seeking a sharp, low-CA manual lens for macro or general use on mirrorless or DSLR bodies.
