    Overview

    The A. Schacht Ulm S-Travegon 35 mm f/2.8 R is a compact, single-coated wide-angle prime for 35 mm SLRs. Optically, it is praised for sharpness even wide open. Build quality is good but not great, with machined aluminum and a preset aperture mechanism; some samples show minor chips on the rear retaining ring, likely from factory tooling. It suits enthusiasts seeking a sharp, vintage character lens for adapted use, typically costing $80–100 in Exakta mount.
