Overview

The Prinzgalaxy 200mm f/4.5 is a slow, cheap M42 lens with a 16-blade aperture and fluid aperture adjustment, but both focusing and aperture rings are very stiff, hindering fine-tuning. Optically, it suffers from very low contrast and washed-out colors, though sharpness is acceptable. Build quality is poor overall. It is not recommended unless obtainable for under £5, as similarly priced alternatives perform better.
