Overview

The A. Schacht Ulm Edixa-Travegon 35mm f/3.5 is a wide-angle lens for M42 or Exakta mounts, designed by Ludwig Bertele. It is exceptionally sharp, especially at f/8-f/11, with good corner performance. Build quality is high, with chrome-plated brass or aluminum variants (legacycamera notes minor tooling marks on the rear retaining ring). Weaknesses include a slow maximum aperture for moving subjects. It suits landscape photographers seeking vintage character and sharpness.
