Overview

The Petri 35 mm f/2.8 C.C. Auto (bayonet mount) is a compact, well-built lens praised for pleasant rendering and good sharpness when stopped down, though it is slightly soft at the edges wide open (MFlenses). The Tessar design can be prone to flare, so a hood is recommended. It suits photographers who appreciate manual, all-mechanical gear and want a budget-friendly, capable wide-angle lens for film or adapted digital use.
