Overview

The Universar 23mm f/3.5 Auto is a wide-angle lens with solid build and handling, noted for its solid feel (MFlenses). Its main optical weakness is poor corner/edge performance, which improves at closer distances (MFlenses). It is a fun lens to use, and the corner issues can be worked around (iangreenhalgh1 on MFlenses). The lens suits photographers who can accept soft corners and want a compact, well-built wide-angle for creative use.
