    Overview

    The Porst WW 35 mm f/1.8 MC Auto H is a fast wide-angle M42 lens, notable as the fastest 35mm lens in its mount. Optically, it lacks contrast wide open compared to a Flektogon 35/2.4 but offers pleasant mid-tone rendering and sufficient sharpness for good images. Build is compact and lightweight at 264g, though visually bulky. It suits photographers seeking a fast, affordable 35mm legacy lens with unique character, though not for those demanding high contrast at maximum aperture.
