Overview

The Pentacon 100mm f/2.8 auto is a compact, lightweight short telephoto lens, essentially identical to the Meyer-Optik Orestor 100mm f/2.8. It offers decent sharpness wide open, pleasant bokeh, and good color rendering. However, build quality is considered medium or lower, and it is not a macro lens. It suits budget-conscious vintage lens enthusiasts seeking a small telephoto for adapted use, though careful pre-purchase inspection is advised.
