Overview

The Panagor 35-135mm f/3.5-4.5 MC Auto Zoom is a vintage third-party lens with variable maximum aperture. Optical quality is decent, with sharpness comparable to newer zooms (Josh_J), though sample variation may occur. A notable weakness is the minimum focusing distance of 5 feet, with macro mode only at 35mm (Josh_J). Build is typical of its era, with a push/pull zoom mechanism. It suits budget-conscious photographers seeking a versatile focal range, but those needing close focus or consistent macro may look elsewhere.
