Overview

The Porst Weitwinkel auto F 35mm f/3.5 is a vintage wide-angle lens with modest optical performance. Its strengths include decent sharpness when stopped down, but it suffers from noticeable chromatic aberration and distortion. Build quality is typical for its era: all-metal construction with smooth focusing, though the aperture ring can be stiff. It suits photographers seeking an affordable, compact wide-angle for film or adapted to mirrorless, provided they accept its limitations.
