    35mm · f/1.8

    Overview

    The Minolta MC W.Rokkor-HH 35mm f/1.8 is a character lens with excellent build quality, all-metal construction. Optically, it offers high center sharpness at f/1.8 but low contrast due to spherical aberration, with soft corners; stopping to f/2.8 reduces aberrations, and best performance is at f/5.6-f/8 where only extreme corners remain soft. Weaknesses include high vignetting at f/1.8 and mediocre flare resistance. It suits photographers valuing character and build over outright sharpness.
