    Overview

    The Schneider-Kreuznach C-Curtagon 35mm f/2.8 is a compact, all-metal lens with robust brass construction (MFlenses). Optically, it is very soft wide open and prone to flare, but sharpens considerably by f/5.6 with good corner-to-corner sharpness (MFlenses). Color rendering and contrast are notably saturated and crisp (MFlenses). The lens exhibits visible barrel distortion, especially when shifted. It suits photographers who value classic rendering and solid build, and who primarily shoot at mid-apertures for street, travel, or characterful everyday photography.
